STUDENTINFO

ATTENDANCE GUIDELINESBecause of the commitment of MNTC to provide training which best prepares the student for the work place,

many of the policies and procedures of the school reflect those found in the work place, rather than those

typically found in a school.

Class attendance is vitally important to learning a technical skill. The daily give-and-take of instruction

and demonstration of equipment use is needed to provide students with proper training for a specific

occupation. A student who is habitually absent or arrives late will miss the essential elements of the course

and will not develop acceptable work habits.

The following attendance rules apply to both high school and adult students enrolled in career majors at

MNTC, unless the Board of Education has designated a more stringent attendance policy for a specific career

major due to the educational requirements of that specific career major or field of study. Violation of these

rules results in the student receiving no academic credit and may result in withdrawal from school for the

balance of the current semester. Students who violate the attendance policy will not be allowed to enroll for

the following regular semester (fall or spring), including summer school, if the violation occurs during the

spring semester.

Absences

For successful career major completion, a students absences may not exceed 10 days per semester. A day isdefined as the time period a student is enrolled each day.

A student who exceeds 10 days per semester and is passing his/her career major will receive a no grade

(NG). The student may be withdrawn from school for the balance of the current semester. Students who

violate the attendance policy will not be allowed to enroll for the following regular semester, including

summer school, if the violation occurs during the spring semester.

A student who exceeds 10 days per semester and is failing his/her career major will receive an F. The

the balance of the semester and the following

regular semester, including summer school, if the

violation occurs during the spring semester.

student arriving up to one hour late or departing upto one hour early is counted tardy. A student may

also be counted tardy for arriving late from break

or missing class time in order to replace their MNTC

ID Badge. Three tardies equal a session absence.

Students who miss over one hour will be counted

absent for that class session. A class session is

defined as an AM or PM period of instruction.

A student arriving to class late or departing early

must sign in on the Late Arrival Sheet area located inthe classroom. Failure to properly sign-in may result

in the student being counted absent for that class

session.

If it is necessary that a student leave the school

during class hours, the student must secure a

Permit to Leave the Building from the teacher/

instructor. In addition, the parent/guardian of a

high school student must contact the appropriateAdministration Office at 364-5763using one of the

extensions listed:

Health: x 7535

Technical: x 7325

Business & Information Technology: x 4100

The student must take the permit to their assigned

Administration Office to check out. Failure to

properly sign-out results in the student beingcounted absent for that class session.

Notifying School When Absent

It is the responsibility of adult students, or the

parent/guardian of high school students, to notify

the school when a student will be absent from class.

Notification should be within the first hour of class.

If notification has not been received within the first

hour of class, staff will contact the parent/guardian

of high school students who are absent

24-Hour Attendance Line

For your convenience, Moore Normans attendance

line is available 24-hours-a-day to notify the

school of absences. Adult students or parents/guardians of high school students should call the

attendance line at 217-8205and leave a message.

Reason for absence (illness, appointment,

bereavement, etc.)

Career Major Related Job Placement Activities

instructor and verification by the administrator,

absences for job interviews, orientations, and exams

for jobs related to the career major will not count

from their teacher/instructor, counselor, or administrator. An adult student, parents of a secondary student,

or any agencies financing a students enrollment will be notified by mail of the students absences when the

student has missed half of the allowed absences for the semester.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FORPARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIESIn order to be eligible for participation in extracurricular activities, students must be within the attendance

policy and have a passing grade in all subjects in which the student is enrolled at MNTC and the high school.

MNTC classes are not in session, please refer to the 2013-2014 MNTC Student Academic Calendar located at

mntechnology.comunder Student Resources.

STUDENT DISCIPLINEThe Board of Education believes that the schools primary goal is to educate, not to discipline. However,

education includes establishing norms of social behavior and assisting students in understanding and

attaining those norms. When the behavior of an individual student comes into conflict with rights of others,

corrective actions are necessary for the benefit of the individual and the school. The teacher has the right to

control and discipline a student while the student is in attendance or in transit to or from the school or whileparticipating in any school function authorized by the school district.

Each student shall be treated in a fair and equitable manner. Disciplinary action will be based on a careful

assessment of circumstances surrounding each infraction. The following are some examples of these

circumstances:
