Attendance Policy for Barringer High School
BE FULLY PRESENT!!!

Barringer Logo

There is a vast body of research to support the direct correlation between attendance and student achievement. As a school, we struggle immensely in this area. Since last year, we have become more strategic regarding monitoring our attendance trends. We are making strides by increasing awareness and accountability for all stakeholders. To that end, please be guided by information below.

  • Attendance is mandatory for all students.
  • Attendance will be taken daily in all classes.
  • State reportable attendance will be taken during homeroom (period 2).
  • Parents will be notified the same day that a student is marked absent from homeroom.
  • Attendance will be monitored and tracked daily.
  • Mandatory Parent Conferences will be held for students who are chronically absent.
  • Attendance Reports and Convocations will take place on a monthly basis.
  • Students who miss more than 18 school days must complete an Attendance Appeal Portfolio to obtain credit. Last year was a pilot year.  This year the policy will be even more strictly reinforced.
  • We are partnering with a new agency (Concentric - CES). They have be tasked with conducting home visits for students who require support with boosting their attendance.
