Except when  using a doctor's written excuse or verification of a contagious disease or illness by the school nurse, the following attendance totals will be followed.  It is the prerogative of the building administrator to begin attendance conversations between the school and the family at any time regardless of the total class absences in question.

1.  When a student is absent for ten (10) days during any semester (2 quarters), written notification will be sent to the parents and the students.  Any absences supported by a doctor''s written excuse or a school nurse's submission that a contagious disease or extended illness was noted, such absences will not be used to determine this absent count.
2.  After a student is absent from school a total of eleven (11) days during the semester (2 quarters), the principal will schedule a conference with the student and the student's parents to discuss the absences, the importance of attendance, and the attendance policy.  Any absences supported by a doctor's written excuse or a school nurse's submission that a contagious disease or extended illness was noted, such absences will not be used to determine this absent count.
3.  After a student has been absent from school for  twelve (12) days for any one class or classes during a semester (2 quarters), the principal may refer the concern to the district attorney's office for further investigation, according to the provisions of Wyoming statute 21-4-107.  Any absences supported by a doctor's written excuse or a school nurse's submission that a contagious disease or extended illness was noted, such absences will not be used to determine this absent count.
4.  Any student absent for ten (10) consecutive days without an excuse to support these absences or lacking any communication with the school will be dropped from the district roll.  Upon return the parents will need to follow through with the re-enrollment procedures.
