Absence and Attendance

Absence Notes
In keeping with the LVTI attendance policy, all absences must be accounted for in the form of a note, signed by the parent or guardians. They may call the main office on the morning of the absence.
Attendance
Since LVTI is committed to vocational certification and placement upon graduation, as well as to the granting of a high school diploma, students should be aware of the impact that absenteeism will have on this ultimate goal. The school does not excuse absence. Absence from school is the individual responsibility of the student and his/her parent or guardian as defined by the provisions of the General Laws of the Commonwealth, Chapter 76, Section 1-4.

* LVTI emphasizes punctuality to school and to classes. The homeroom bell rings at 7:45.AM. Student is considered tardy to school after 7:55.A.M. On reaching the 8th tardiness per quarter, the student will be suspended and/or detention.
