Attendance

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I initiated the topic because of problems with attendance from third grade. This year though, it all looks better, I almost only skip because of diseases (like right now). Yet I manage to pull out some Aish grades :)</p>

<p>What does your attendance sheet look like?</p>

2

<p>Perfect Attendance - kindergarten - fifth grade. I missed a day last year and the year before. So far I haven't missed a day this year. (I'm in eighth grade.)</p>

<p>I'm barely ever a sick. I get colds, though, but I still go to school.</p>

3

<p>I missed 4 days in high school. 2 because I was sick, 2 because I played hooky. </p>

<p>I get very bad allergies in the spring, though. Why I still go to school like that, I have no idea.</p>

4

<p>I wonder if colleges pay attention to attendance at all. lol</p>

5

<p>One day..I woke up late and could've walked to school if I wanted. But I slept in. And I've gone to court...I think 2 absences so far.</p>

6

<p>Only like ten my whole life but six in hs. I just joined and was wondering what the yellow bulbs in the forums mean. Can anyone tell me.</p>

<p>Yellow bulbs means you are online. I normally miss around 8 days per year.</p>

They don't.</p>

<p>I have missed 3 days so far, one excused. The only time I'll skip is if my grade is in jeopardy. :D</p>

<p>Besides, we're allowed to miss 9 unexcused days per semester.</p>

12

<p>I was absent 6 times last year. This year I haven't been absent at all.</p>

13

<p>26 days in 1.5 semesters</p>

<p>Last year, I pulled over 40 in total. My parents are starting to get a bit ****ed off at me. The teacher's dont even care because I maintain good grades.</p>

14

<p>I hated freshmen year, so I skipped a few weeks in all. Still managed pretty good grades though. </p>

<p>Haha, it was most amusing when I got assigned "saturday school" to make up for it... teachers at my school tend not to care if you skip, as long as you establish a good reputation first ;)</p>

15

<p>HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA I missed 2 weeks when my little cousin was diagnosed w/ cancer, and then I stayed home at least two months total 9-12 just to stay home or becuase my mom needed my help, then the last two months of school I only went to school on Fridays so I could move in with my grandma and take care of her, and then there were the two days that I was actaully sick...i dont get sick very often... but do I win? Total...i've missed like 4-5 months</p>

16

<p>I missed 45 days in 6th grade, 7th I got up 80, then 8th I only had 2.</p>

<p>Senior year, I had 15 or so, but they only counted 4 of them... great system we have.</p>

17

<p>Mostly perfect attendance. And I probably will get perfect attendance this year, but I have a doctor's appointment soon during the day. Darn my scoliosis!</p>

18

<p>kindergarten-4th: perfect attendance
5th: i missed a week cuz of a serious flu
6th-9th: perfect attendance
10th: i missed my first two periods cuz i didnt do my english project and it was this huge 1000 pts thingy and if i didnt do it i wouldve failed and part of it was presentation
11th (now): so far perfect attendance</p>

<p>Grade 5 - Massive dehydration; Went into ER.</p>

<p>From then onwards, I started to drink water. :)</p>

<p>Haven't missed a day of school since the start of 6th grade. Just started the second quarter of my senior year! I've missed like a total of 8 days in my school career.</p>
