classes. For Night Seder and any General Studies class that meets only
twice a week, he may not miss more than 5 classes. These limits apply to all
excused and unexcused absences, including Shabbatonim, illnesses,
medical appointments, and family simchas. If a student has an extenuating
circumstance that requires more than the allotted number of absences, his
parents should discuss the situation in advance with the Administration. An
extenuating circumstance that results in an extended leave will jointly count
as one absence.
The first unexcused absence will result in a 2-point deduction from his final
grade, and each additional unexcused absence will result in a 3-point
deduction. If a student exceeds the maximum number of absences in any
course, the result will be an automatic grade of D, with no opportunity to raise
the grade through additional work or appeals. In cases of continued or
excessive absences beyond the stated limits, students may receive a failing
grade (F) at the discretion of the administration and may need to retake the
class to receive any form of credit.
Tardiness
Students are expected to have their books and be settled in the classroom
before the beginning of class. Any student who arrives after class begins will
be marked late, and any student who arrives more than 10 minutes after
class begins will be marked absent. Three lates per class per semester will
be considered an absence.
Early Dismissal
If a student needs to be dismissed prior to the end of the school day,
permission must be obtained from the High School office. An email
(attendance@htc.edu) to the attendance email address from a parent is
required. A student who leaves school grounds without permission will be
given an absence for the classes missed and is subject to disciplinary action.
If a student arrives after Shacharis for any reason, he must report to the High
School office before entering shiur or class. If any student becomes ill during
the day, it is his responsibility to see to it that the Administration is informed
immediately.
