Attendance Reminder

Hello ACPA families! This is a reminder that if your student arrives to school after 8:55 without a valid excuse, each minute missed counts as unexcused. After 72 hours of unexcused absences, Ohio law states a student is considered truant.

Your student's attendance is vital to their academic success, and even just a few minutes of consistently being late adds up. Please help ensure your child is arriving to school before 8:55AM each day. As always, if you need support please don't hesitate to reach out to us by phone (614-986-9974) or email (silver@artcollegeprep.org). Thank you for working with us to help your child thrive!
