DOMINION ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES
Welcome to the 2021-22 school year!

The first and most important step that a student must take to ensure success is to attend school each and every day. If a student develops regular attendance habits, we are confident that he/she will find success at Dominion High School. If, however, a student is absent more than 10% of the days that school, or any specific class, is in session, that student will risk loss of credit for the course, regardless of the grade earned.

The procedures apply to students regardless of age. Students who are 18 years of age or older are not exempt from school rules and regulations. Please read  BoardDocs Policy 8140 for further explanation.

The Loudoun County School Board has established that the following reasons, accompanied with appropriate documentation, will be labeled as excused absences:
1. Personal illness
2. Death in the family
3. Medical or dental appointments
4. Court appearances
In addition, principals may excuse students who are absent for any of the following reasons:
5. Illness in the immediate family that requires the student to be absent
6. Emergencies that are approved by the principal
7. Trips or activities that enhance or extend the student's education, *when approved by the principal in advance
8. Religious holidays

Parents are required to contact the school to provide the date/s and corresponding reasons for a student's absence/s in order for the school administration to determine the excused or unexcused nature of the absence/s (or tardy).

 Please have students download the following apps on their smart phone or have them familiarize themselves with these apps found on LCPSGO on their chromebooks:

StudentVue app.- This will help facilitate tardy check in and early dismissal sign out.

Ehall pass- E-hall pass is used for all passes during the day. Please have the student sign up for text notifications in their student profile within their e-hall pass account to be alerted when a pass is assigned to them. They will need to use this pass to leave class to sign out in the main office for their early dismissals.

Please also refer to the LCPS main website with the information listed above: LCPS Board Docs

Looking forward to a wonderful school year!

PROCEDIMIENTOS DE ASISTENCIA EN DOMINION
¡Bienvenidos al año escolar 2021-22!

El primer paso y el más importante que debe dar un estudiante para garantizar el éxito es asistir a la escuela todos los días. Si un estudiante desarrolla hábitos de asistencia regular, estamos seguros de que tendrá éxito en Dominion High School. Sin embargo, si un estudiante está ausente más del 10% de los días en que la escuela, o cualquier clase específica, está en sesión, ese estudiante correrá el riesgo de perder el crédito por el curso, independientemente de la calificación obtenida.

La Junta Escolar del Condado de Loudoun ha establecido que las siguientes razones, acompañadas de la documentación apropiada, serán etiquetadas como ausencias justificadas:
1. Enfermedad personal
2. Muerte en la familia
3. Citas médicas o dentales
4. Comparecencias en la corte
Además, los directores pueden excusar a los estudiantes que estén ausentes por cualquiera de las siguientes razones:
5. Enfermedad en la familia inmediata
6. Emergencias aprobadas por el director
7. Viajes o actividades que mejoran o extienden la educación del estudiante,* cuando son aprobados por el director con anticipación
8. Vacaciones religiosas
Se requiere que los padres se comuniquen con la escuela para proporcionar la fecha y las razones correspondientes de la ausencia de un estudiante para que la administración de la escuela determine la naturaleza justificada o injustificada de la ausencia (o tardanza).

¡Esperamos un año escolar maravilloso!
