As required by State Law and District Policy, students are expected to be in attendance every day that school is in session. It is our firm belief that if students are to take advantage of the educational opportunities at Fairview, they must attend class. Students who attend all of their classes benefit from class discussions, demonstrations, teacher-student interactions, lab work, student projects, musical rehearsals, and peer contributions.
At the same time, FHS is a student-centered environment which provides an array of opportunities that may cause a student to legitimately miss class. The FHS Attendance Procedure has been developed to serve a two-fold purpose. First, is to meet state law requirements, and second, to maximize a student’s opportunity to receive a quality education.
For further information on the District’s Attendance Policies, please refer to Policy JED in the Student Rights and Responsibilities Guide, and State Law (C.R.S. 22-33-104) which requires attendance at school for all students until the age of seventeen.
It is the responsibility of parents and students to track the student’s attendance. This can be done through the Parent Portal, as well as the Student Portal on Infinite Campus.
