Attendance Procedures During Distance Learning
To satisfy requirements of HRS §302A-1132, student attendance will be taken daily. Pearl Ridge Elementary will take daily attendance and enter it into the Infinite Campus system. School attendance procedures will support PRE’s face-to-face and full distance learning configurations. Virtual classes will have mandatory attendance that will be recorded. Regardless of schedule, ALL students log in at 7:55am and join their homeroom video conference for attendance and morning business which ends at 8:10am.
Procedures:
TARDIES: If the student misses morning business, a parent/legal guardian MUST call the office (305-9300) to report his/her child TARDY to participate in synchronous/asynchronous learning activities for the school day
Should attendance concerns arise or persist, contact your grade level counselor for support.
