Policy: 3120P
Section: 3000 - Students
Procedure Enrollment
Enrollment and attendance records will be maintained in each school building. At the conclusion of the year, the enrollment and attendance information will be recorded on the student's permanent record card.
The attendance registers will remain in the school building for a period of 5 years, after which time they will be sent to the district office to be destroyed.
Annually each school will report to the
district actions taken to reduce any student’s absenteeism following the
student’s fifth absence in one month, or tenth absence in one year. The
district will report this information annually to the superintendent of public
instruction:
- The number of enrolled students and the number of
unexcused absences;
- The number of enrolled students with ten or more
unexcused absences in a school year or five or more unexcused absences in
a month;
- A description of any programs or schools developed
to serve students who have had five or more absences in a month or ten in
a year including information about the number of students in the program
or school and the number of unexcused absences of students during and
after participation in the program. The reports will also describe any
placements in an approved private nonsectarian school or program or
certified program under a court order; and
- The number of petitions filed by a school or a
parent with the juvenile court; and
The information in these reports will not disclose the names or other identification of the students or parents.

Grade K: |
20 hours or more per week or four hours or more for 90 scheduled days or 10 hours or more per week or two hours or more for 180 scheduled days. |

25 hours or more per week or five hours or more for 180 scheduled days; the equivalent in a combination of high school, community college and/or vocational-technical institute courses; or the equivalent in an alternative school program. |
Alternative Learning Experiences: Full-time equivalency will be determined by documentation of all hours of learning activities pursuant to WAC 392-121-182.
Normal class change/passing time may be counted as part of this requirement. Noon intermission, however, is excluded.
