At Providence Hall Charter School we have a strong commitment to a quality education, therefore we are concerned when a student misses school for any reason. The process of education requires a continuity of instruction, class participation, learning experience, and study. Frequent absences of students from day-to-day classroom experiences disrupt the educational and instructional process. 

Please refer the Attendance Policy in the 5000-Students section in our Policies for information on excused absences, unexcused/truant absences, Tardies, Administrative Penalties, Appeals Procedure, and Release from Compulsory Education.

Utah Compulsory Attendance Laws (Code 53A-11-101-105) requires that every school age child (6-18) be enrolled in school and attend regularly.
Parents and students are responsible for regular and punctual attendance of all their classes.

1. A note or phone call explaining a student’s absence is required of each day a student misses school to excuse a student’s absences. 

2. All students, regardless of age, are required to have a parent/guardian excuse absences and/or tardies (if applicable. 

3. A parent/guardian has ten (10) school days after the date of an absence to excuse the absence and/or tardy (if applicable).

A student may be excused from school attendance (won’t affect a student’s no grade status) up to a maximum of ten (10) school days per school year (all ten [10] days at one time or a total of ten [10] days over multiple requests) only if school’s specific form for this is fully complete, submitted, and approved by administration prior to the absences taking place.
