DES Attendance

To earn a Perfect Attendance Award (given quarterly and yearly), a student must meet the following criteria:

  • Be On Time: Students must arrive at school on time every day.

  • Stay All Day: Students must attend the entire school day (no early dismissals for non-medical reasons).

The Medical Exception Policy: We understand that medical needs arise. Therefore, students will be permitted one medical early release per quarter that will not count against their Perfect Attendance status, provided the following conditions are met:

  • The student must start the school day on time.

  • The student/parent must provide official documentation verifying a doctor’s appointment for that specific time.
