Attendance Information: North Dakota Century Code and District policy only allows 10 absences per semester. Once a student reaches 4 absences the principal will call the parents, after 8 absences a letter will be sent to the parents, at 10, 15 and 20 absences a hearing will be held by the attendance committee to determine if any absences were excused through documentation such as a doctor’s note. Results of the hearing could be nothing, an hour for hour make-up of lost class time on Saturdays or loss of credit. Extracurricular absences will not be counted as absences. Every 6th tardy will be counted as an absence. Students who have 4 or less absences in a class will not be required to take semester finals in that class. All absences will apply to this. Students who have a deficiency, a D or an F, will have to take that class final.

If you have called the school and received a busy signal, NDTC has been called to see what is going on and they said that there was a cut fiber by Larimore affecting Verizon cell phones calling landlines. Landline to landline works and cell phone to cell phone works but not Verizon cell phones to landlines. She said that Verizon is working on this and hopefully will get it resolved soon. Thanks for your patience.
