BHS Attendance Expectations

Our Philosophy about Attendance

We expect students to attend class because we want each and every student to be successful in high school and beyond. Attending class in-person is important for belonging, connecting students with peers and adults, and deeper learning.  Therefore, it is our collective responsibility to support students in attending class.

Student responsibilities for attendance 

• Get to class on time. 
• Stay in class. 
• Communicate with teachers when you are absent, or if you need more support.  
• Make up the missed learning and class work. This does not include skipping one class to do work for another. 

How parents/guardians can help 

• Communicate to your student the importance of attending class.
• Contact BHS Attendance at 802-864-8411 or dtbhsattendance@bsdvt.org when your child is absent and briefly explain the reason why. 
• Contact your student’s school counselor if you need more support or clarification.
