Academic success requires continuity of instruction and active classroom engagement. Attendance is required of all students enrolled at Athenian Academy of Technology and the Arts during the days and hours that the school is in session. School attendance is the responsibility of parents and students.
Students are required to attend school regularly, be on time for classes, and satisfy all course requirements. Parents must contact the school each time a student is absent. When a student misses a day of school, the absence will be either excused or unexcused. Students have 1-day for each day missed to make up missed work.
