Dear Parents and Students,
Effective Tuesday, Oct. 20, the only valid excuse for not attending in-person classes for your on-campus days are listed below (Per the Parent and Student Handbook page 14):
- Tardies will be excused only for emergencies. Oversleeping, missed busses, rides, personal reasons, weather, road conditions, etc., will not be considered an excused tardy.
- Partial sick days will not be excused without a physician's note.
- A student, late because of a medical or dental appointment, must bring a note from the parent or guardian and doctor or dentist. (All medical/dental offices provide these notes.)
Any other excuse for calling in as a remote student for your on-campus days will result in an unexcused tardy. After a student receives their sixth unexcused tardy, they will receive a two-hour Saturday detention, and after a student receives a tenth unexcused tardy, they will receive a four-hour Saturday detention.
We have appreciated the communications in regards to illness concerns, specifically COVID-19 related symptoms, and still request those students to remain home in accordance with the Summit County Public Health Department. Any questions, please contact Mr. Lucey luceyt@hoban.org.
Attendance Procedures
Call offs: Parents should report their student’s absence by calling the attendance line (330.773.0436) as soon as possible in the morning. If your student will be home on their scheduled report to school day and instead will be learning remotely – we need to have this reportedl. If a student is learning remotely but has an appointment and will be unable to attend at any point during their remote time, please notify the attendance line so the absence can be properly recorded.
Appointments: If an appointment is scheduled last minute, the call off procedure is the same.
If a student has not been reported off and/or does not appear remotely for class they will be marked as an unexcused absence.
COVID related: Students who are ill with symptoms associated with COVID-19 (including: fever >100℉, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea), are automatically excluded from school for 10 days. UNLESS they go to the doctor and the doctor provides written notice of an alternative definitive diagnosis (ex: ear infection, strep throat). These absences MUST be reported immediately to the attendance line at 330.773.0436.
