The ISD 728 school board believes that regular school attendance is directly related to success in academic work, benefits students socially, provides opportunities for important communications between teachers and students, and establishes regular habits of dependability important to the future of the student. The purpose of the attendance policy is to encourage regular school attendance Kindergarten through 12th grade. It is intended to be positive and not punitive.

The students of ISD 728 are required to attend all assigned classes and/or study halls every day that school is in session, unless the student has been excused by the school board from attendance because the student has already completed state and school district standards required to graduate from high school, has withdrawn, or has a valid excuse for absence.
