Turning in an Excuse: If a student is absent, they have to submit an excuse within 3 days of returning to class. Both Crawford Tech and the sending high school require an excuse.
Unexcused Absences: An unexcused absence is considered ‘truant’ which means a student cannot make up work for that day. A ‘0’ will be given for the day. After 3 unexcused absences, a student may receive detention. This can continue for each continuing unexcused absence following the first 3.
Medical Excuses: A medical excuse is required after 10 days of accumulated absences.
Tardy/Leaving Early: Students must have permission from a parent, guardian, or sending school official if they arrive late to school or seek permission to leave early. Without a note, students will be marked tardy, or will not be permitted an early dismissal. Students must sign in and out of school through the Attendance Office at either the Sending School or Crawford Tech. If a student does not sign out before leaving, they will be considered “truant”.
Sending School Events: Students will need to fill out a “Permission to Attend Sending School Event” form, which can be found in the Attendance Office or through their instructor, at least 2 days before the event. They may also bring a signed school permission slip into the Attendance Office to be copied.
Act 80 Days (In-Service) for Sending Schools: If Crawford Tech is still in session, students are required to attend. If they do not attend, they are required to have a valid excuse for their absence. For more details on Crawford Tech Attendance Policies please refer to pages 5 and 6 in the Student Handbook.
