In an effort to align with Executive Board Policy JE: Student Attendance that was revised in 2020, we want to remind parents/guardians about student attendance at Windsor Charter Academy. It is the obligation and responsibility of every parent/guardian to ensure that every child under their care and supervision attends school as required by Colorado statutes, Executive Board policies, and school regulations.

The following will be considered excused absences:

A student who is temporarily ill or injured or whose absence is approved by the administrator of the school of attendance on a prearranged basis. Prearranged absences will be approved for appointments or circumstances of a serious nature only which cannot be taken care of outside of school hours.
A student who is absent for an extended period due to a physical disability or a mental or behavioral health disorder.
A student who is pursuing a work-student program under the supervision of a public school.
A student who is attending any school-sponsored activity or activities of an educational nature with advance approval by the administration.
A student who is suspended or expelled.

An unexcused absence shall be any absence that is not found within the foregoing exceptions listed in this policy.

Tardy Policy: As stated in Executive Board Policy JE: Student Attendance, the only tardy that shall be considered excused is for a medical or dental appointment. Each student will be allowed five unexcused tardies every semester. Additional unexcused tardies will be addressed with the student and parents/guardians.
