ATTENDANCE POLICY ADDENDUM
PA Law 24 P.S. §§ 13-1326 – 1354 (overseeing Compulsory School Attendance, Unlawful Absences, and School Attendance Improvement Conferences) and Saint Andrew School attendance policies are still in full effect. In order to adapt to the current situations and still provide a quality Catholic education for our students, the following policy changes are implemented:
Virtual instruction status will be available for the students who are: out sick, quarantined, medically excused, serving Out of School Suspension, serving In School Suspension, or other situations deemed valid by school administration.
Students who are Virtual Learning for the day will have attendance marked present with the Virtual Instruction Status in Option C.
The school needs to be notified of the use of a Virtual Instruction Day from the parent before 8:00 AM. Students will be marked absent if this is not followed.
A valid Doctor’s note is needed for medical excusal, return from quarantine and absences of three (3) or more consecutive days.
