Attendance
Regular school attendance is one essential component of success at Poly. If students are absent for an entire school day, or more, they must bring documentation for the absence. An acceptable note is one addressed and delivered to the Main Office, which must include:
The student's name and ID number
The complete date(s) of absence
The specific reason for the absence
The parent's/guardian's name and signature
Parent's/guardian's daytime telephone number
Legal documentation for the absence
Lawful Cause of Absence (COMAR 13A.08.01.03)
Death in the immediate family
Illness of the student
Court summons
Observance of religious holidays
State of emergencies
Hazardous weather conditions
Approved work or other activities sponsored by the school
Suspension or disciplinary removal
Lack of authorized transportation
Other emergencies or set of circumstances as determined by the Superintendent or Principal
If there are obstacles that inhibit the student from coming to school on time, please do not hesitate to talk to any Administrator or School Counselor.
