Franklin Towne Charter High School is committed to supporting all
students in gaining the skills and knowledge they need to be successful. In
order to accomplish this goal, all students are expected to attend school
daily. Each day a student misses is a lost day of valuable instruction. Even a
few days absent will cause a student to fall behind in instruction.
All students must swipe into the building prior to 8:15 a.m., and must
be seated in their first assigned class no later than 8:20 a.m. Attendance is
taken daily. If your child does not attend school, it is your responsibility to
communicate that to the school by sending in a note with your child on the day
they return from the absence. In the event they are absent, please be sure to
check the online grading system and teachers’ websites or email their teachers
for missed homework and assignments. If your child has excessive absences, you
will be required to come to the school to help develop an attendance
improvement plan for your child. You can check the online grading system at any
time to verify student attendance.
The school building
will officially open at 7:30 a.m. Students are not permitted in the building
prior to 7:30 a.m. unless there are qualified personnel in the building to
supervise them for safety and security reasons. All students may enter the main
building through the student entrance. Students will be permitted
to proceed to their lockers/classrooms at 8:10 a.m. All students must swipe
into the building prior to 8:15 a.m. and must be seated in first period prior
to the bell at 8:20 a.m. to avoid being marked late.
If you have any questions regarding our attendance policy, please contact our attendance clerk at attendanceclerk@franklintowne.org.
