File JCC

Truancy is defined as any school absence without the permission of the parent, guardian or responsible adult. Failure by the parent, guardian or responsible adult to promptly contact the school to communicate absenteeism will result in the absence being recorded as truancy.

Truancy is a serious breach of the Public Schools Act and of School Division policy and will be dealt with accordingly.

Suspected or confirmed truancy, shall be regularly reported to the parent, guardian or responsible adult and, when appropriate, to the School Division Attendance Officer.
