Thank you for your ongoing support and involvement in your scholar's education at ASTEC Charter Schools!

 

Attendance and Tardies

Attendance and punctuality are crucial to your scholar's academic success. Scholars must be present for at least 90% of the semester to receive course credit. If a scholar exceeds 10% absences, they will not receive credit and must attend summer school to recover lost credits.

Additionally, please remember that three tardies to a class will count as one absence, contributing to the total absence count. Your support in ensuring your scholar is present and on time each day is greatly appreciated.
