Attendance

All students shall attend school regularly. Noncompliance with this rule will lead to disciplinary action by the school management and students who do not make 80% of the attendance are not eligible to sit their final examination. Regular school attendance is a vital factor in school achievement as irregular attendance and tardiness interfere with the orderly development of sound progress in one's education.

Students should not be absent unless under extenuating circumstances. Once the student resumes attending, the student should be responsible to obtain missed material and make up for missed work as soon as possible.

CHSE policy requires that a student who has been absent bring a parental n to school the first day of the student's return to school stating the reason the absence. The only excuses for absences t shall be deemed acceptable are:

  1. Illness (the school may require a note from the doctor);
  2. Death or a crisis in the family;
  3. Extenuating circumstances which are determined by the sch administration.

(School-organized activities such as field trips and trips or sports competific are not counted as absences; however, if cannot be attended, students who involved must notify affected teachers well ahead of the event)
