Beginning
in the 2007 – 2008 school year East Hardin Middle School entered into a
collaborative endeavor with the Circuit Court’s Family Court Division to
implement a program aimed at eliminating truancy in our school. Habitual truancy is defined as having 6
unexcused absences. When a student
accumulates 3 unexcused absences they will be given a notification letter to
take home to their parent / guardian– if 3 additional unexcused absences then
occur, the family will be given the option of participating in the Truancy
Diversion Program or having a truancy charge filed through the Court Designated
Worker’s Office. For additional
Information about this program, contact our Youth Services Center,
the Hardin County CDW Office or the Main Office.
If
you have any questions concerning the attendance record of your student please
check Infinite
Campus (contact the counselors for access code) or contact Joyce
Morris, EHMS Attendance Clerk.
