Credit Reduction Appeals
|
| Step 1: Student and Parent review
the Credit Reduction Appeals Policy as stated in the
MHS Student Handbook: |
A student's
cumulative absences will result in a course credit reduction.
If the parent/student believe these absences were due to
extenuating circumstances, the parent/student shall have the
right to appeal a credit reduction to the Principal within
five (5) school days from the issuance of report cards.
However, if any of the student's cumulative absences are the
result of class cut, truancy, in-school suspension or external
suspension, the student is ineligible to appeal the reduction
of course credit tot eh principal. The Principal will review
the student's attendance situation and render a written
decision as soon as possible.
|
| Loss or reduction
of course credit due to an attendance policy infraction will
not require a student to repeat the course. However, a loss of
course credit will impact a student's Grade Point Average, and
the student may need to pass additional courses to earn the
credits necessary for graduation.
|
| Step 2: Parent and
student should make sure all documentation supporting the
absences has been submitted to the MHS main office for
inclusion in the student's folder. This will insure a complete
and timely review.
|
| Step 3: Student and
Parent complete the Attendance Appeal Form and submits to the
Principal's office within five (5) days of issuance of report
cards. Attendance Appeal Forms can be picked up in the
Guidance Office.
|
|
**
Note: The Attendance Appeal Form is submitted only when
courses are complete and final grades have been assigned. |
