Attendance Information

TRUANCY FROM CLASS

Students not in class during the school day are considered truant unless they have permission from a parent or teacher.  Students may be counted truant if they are not in their assigned classes even though they are on campus.  Truancy applies to any part of a day or possibly a whole day. Be aware that county and city ordinances have changed and any student found truant from school may be cited and fined. Truant students run the risk of having their classes removed or being moved to another, more appropriate placement.

 

MAKING UP HOURS 

Attendance is essential to student success at Frontier High School. Students who miss class for any reason are encouraged to make up the missed hour by attending our PREP after-school program. PREP is available Monday through Thursday from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM and Fridays from 12:15 PM to 3:00 PM. Students are able to earn additional credits, while making up any missed hours.

 

PARENT/GUARDIAN PARTICIPATION

Parent/Guardian participation is critical for a students success at Frontier High School. Parents are welcome on campus at any time, but please check in to the office when coming on to campus. Please take time out of your busy schedules to do the following to ensure the academic and social success of your child at Frontier:

  1. Call the office when your child is not going to be in school.  (Ext. 1205 or 1206)
  2. Check attendance at least once each week. Call ext. 1205 or 1206 to check on your child's  attendance. We do have bilingual, Spanish speaking, office staff available.
  3. CLASSES START AT 8:30 AM, EVERY MORNING. Make sure that your student arrives promptly at school BEFORE 8:30. This means ensuring that your child is up in plenty of time to catch the school bus or be taken to school. In addition, make sure that your child has time for breakfast at home, or gets to school in plenty of time to eat on campus and make it to class on time!
  4. Call your child's counselor with any concerns or questions you may have regarding academics or personal issues. Upon request, students may receive a weekly progress report to help you better maintain their academic progress.

PHONE CALLS OR MESSAGES

There should be no cell phone use on campus. However, students may use the phone in the office to call parents/guardians outside of class time. Only in an emergency can a student be called out of class to receive a telephone call, accept a transferred call or be given a message called into the office by a parent or guardian.
