STUDENT ATTENDANCE POLICY
When you are absent from school, your parent/guardian should call the Academy office(362-3056) on the day you are absent. Parents may call the Academy Office and leave a message 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Absences not cleared within 3 days will result in a truancy on your attendance record.
Once you have reported to school on the AOC campus, you may not leave without first reporting to the AOC office. Leaving campus without permission from the office will be considered a truancy. If you become ill at school, you must go to the AOC office where you will be giving permission to leave the campus.

It is important for students to have good attendance in all classes. If a student does not attend the first class session, he/she will be dropped from that class. If you miss a college class, you will most likely miss valuable information that will help you to get a good grade. Make it a goal to attend every class.
