parent or guardian must contact the counselor’s secretary to explain the situation. All
books are to be returned, locker cleared and all fees paid before clearance is issued.

Attendance Policies

Reasons for Absences

Absence and the Ability to Receive Credit

No student shall receive semester credit in a course in which the student is absent more than ten (10) days per semester, excluding approved activity absences, court appearances, or illnesses documented by a licensed medical practitioner. The building principal shall have discretionary to approve any make up waiver for days missed beyond the 10-day limit.

Special passes

Parents or guardians wanting to excuse a student from school during the day should call the attendance secretary for a special pass. Students must report to the main office to contact a parent or guardian for permission to leave school. Students not following this procedure will be considered truant and will be disciplined according to regulations.

Students are assigned to counselors as follows:

Competitive Athletics

A student participating in competitive athletics must be enrolled in six classes and will engage in competitive athletics after the sixth hour for no credit. To participate in interscholastic competition in athletics or other activities he must have passed at least five classes the previous semester. In addition, a student must be passing all classes on a week-to-week basis to participate weekly during each semester.

Honor Roll

Honor rolls are published in the Lawton daily paper at the end of each nine-week term. A student must attain an average of 3.1 or more in all subjects to be eligible for the MacArthur Honor Roll. A student must attain an average of 4.0 in all subjects to be eligible for the Principal’s Honor Roll.

**Certain Honors and AP classes are weighted an extra point when computing grade point averages. If a particular college requests that non-weighted grades be sent, the school complies with that request.**
