Administrator's Responsibility

Monitor the entire attendance procedure and work closely with the parent(s)/guardian(s) and teachers to ensure the student’s success in school. Under the direction of the building administrator(s), office staff will maintain a record of documented parent/guardian calls to the school regarding attendance and excused absences.

The office staff will correct student absences after the teacher has recorded the attendance. Administrators will check attendance weekly to verify that teachers are recording attendance properly.
● Monitor students’ tardiness and assign consequences in case of chronic tardiness.
● Facilitate automated notifications to the parent(s) or guardian(s) of students who were marked absent for each class period if the appropriate administrative level office was not informed of the reason for the student’s absence within the first hour of school.
● Assure the notification of parents/guardians when a student receives 3, 5 consecutive, or 10, or 15 total absences.
● Enlist the resources of the Kalamazoo County Family Court, Juvenile Division, in the event a student is chronically absent.
