Attendance

Please call the School Attendance Office (323-1143, Ext. 2149) between 7:30-9:00 A.M. every day the child is absent from classes.

All doctor excuses and notes from parents must be turned into the attendance office within three (3) days of a student’s return to school. No excuses will be accepted after three (3) days.

Junior high school students can only miss 9 days to be eligible to receive credit for the courses taken. Exceptions can be made only in the event of extended personal illness as verified by a physician and/or other extenuating circumstances. The fifth, eighth, and tenth absences will be reported to the MCSB Truancy Board and the Monroe City Police Department. Any absence may result in a visit from a member of the Truancy Board and an officer from the MPD and a summons to court.

Checking Out Your Student From School

Students may be checked out of school from the Attendance Office by the main entrance of the building.
Students may leave the campus only with a parent or guardian or other authorized designee.
Students checking out of Neville Junior High and returning the same day must report immediately to the Attendance Office upon their return to check in. (If returning from an appointment, bring an excuse from that appointment.)

Checking In Your Student To School

All students reporting to school late must report immediately to the Attendance Office for an admit slip to class.
Students will be allowed to sign into school late (before 8:00 A.M.) if a parent calls the Attendance Office before the student arrives at school.
After 8:00 A.M., a parent must accompany the student, or the student must bring a statement from a doctor showing that they have completed an appointment.
Failure to properly check in will result in consequences and may result in further disciplinary action.
