Attendance--Asistencia

At QoA it is important that your child(ren) attend school regularly. The school calendar provides for extended weekends throughout the school year. Parents are encouraged to schedule trips or family outings during these times to eliminate the need to interrupt a child’s learning process. Missed assignments are the student’s responsibility and are not issued before family vacation during the school year.

Please note we will be sending excessive absences letters on a monthly basis, regardless of the absences being excused or unexcused. This is simply so both parents and school are aware of the child(ren)'s status.

"Excessive absence (18) days or the equivalent of 18 days including tardies, can be cause for a student to be retained in the current grade for another year" (pg.27)

En QoA, es importante que su(s) hijo(s) asista(n) a la escuela regularmente. El calendario escolar incluye fines de semana extendidos durante el año escolar. Se anima a los padres a programar excursiones o salidas familiares durante estos periodos para evitar interrumpir el aprendizaje de sus hijos. Las tareas no realizadas son responsabilidad del estudiante y no se emiten antes de las vacaciones familiares durante el año escolar.

Tenga en cuenta que enviaremos cartas de ausencias excesivas mensualmente, independientemente de si las ausencias son justificadas o injustificadas. Esto es simplemente para que tanto los padres como la escuela estén al tanto del estado de su(s) hijo(s).

"Las ausencias excesivas (18) días o el equivalente a 18 días, incluyendo las tardanzas, pueden ser motivo de repetición del curso escolar por un año más" (pág. 27).
