Absences
For a student to fulfill our academic requirements in any given class (both in
Limudei Kodesh and in General Studies), a student may not miss more than
ten classes in person in any given subject over the course of a semester.
This applies to all absences, including Shabbatonim, illnesses, medical
appointments, and family simchas. If a student has an extenuating
circumstance that requires more than the allotted number of absences, his
parents should discuss the situation in advance with the Administration. An
extenuating circumstance that results in an extended leave will jointly count
as one absence.
Each unexcused absence that a student receives will result in one point
being deducted from his final grade. A student who misses more than ten
classes in any given subject over the course of the semester will be subject
to a mandatory failure and need to retake the class over the summer to
receive any form of credit.
Tardiness
Students are expected to have their books and be settled in the classroom
before the beginning of class. Any student who arrives after class begins will
be marked late, and any student who arrives more than 10 minutes after
class begins will be marked absent. Three lates per class per semester will
be considered an absence.
Early Dismissal
If a student needs to be dismissed prior to the end of the school day,
permission must be obtained from the High School office. An email
(attendance@htc.edu) to the attendance email address from a parent is
required. A student who leaves school grounds without permission will be
given an absence for the classes missed and is subject to disciplinary action.
If a student arrives after Shacharis for any reason, he must report to the High
School office before entering shiur or class. If any student becomes ill during
the day, it is his responsibility to see to it that the Administration is informed
immediately.
