Student Attendance and Absences

Each day, teachers will continue to record student attendance no matter what learning model was chosen. A student could be recorded as present if the student is participating in instruction in a classroom, at home, or virtually that day. If not physically at a school building, students who submit assignments or participate in assigned learning experiences by the deadline established by classroom policy should be considered present.

HCS will make appropriate accommodations for students who may be required to quarantine or self-isolate as a result of COVID-19 by offering at-home instruction. As long as the quarantined students are able to participate in instructions, they will be counted present.
