STUDENT RE-ENTRY TO SCHOOL

If, in the course of the regular high school years, a student chooses to withdraw from school, the following structure is in effect:

· A student may be re‑admitted to a district school within four calendar weeks from the date of withdrawal.

· If the student returns within that time frame, the student is responsible for all work missed, and, while teachers are available to assist the student, it is the student's sole responsibility to seek that assistance.

· The time missed will be assessed under the attendance policy.

· If a student does not return within the time frame, the student may not be re‑admitted until the following September. Any evening or summer school course taken in the meantime can be given credit at the discretion of the administration. However, credit may not be given unless the administration has prior knowledge of the plan.

· When a student chooses to be re‑admitted, the student does so as a decision making young adult. The administration will not tolerate any abrogation of the rules and regulations of the district schools.

· Any student who has been readmitted to school will be entitled to be placed at the class level which transcript evaluation indicates he/she has attained since having dropped out. Such a student will be allowed to graduate with his/her class as long as such a student completed the state and district graduation requirements.
