If your child will be absent or tardy please telephone Midview High School at (440) 748-2124, Option #2, (before 9:00 a.m.) and state the reason for the absence/tardy. If such a call is not received, the school will attempt to verify absences by our automated phone system the day the absence occurs.  Automated calls are sent out at approximately 9 a.m.

Upon returning to school, the student should turn in an absence notice to the attendance office. The written statement should include:

• the student's first and last name

• date of absence

• reason for absence

  • If your child is absent due to an appointment please obtain a note from the doctor that states the dates the child is excused from school. The absence is unexcused until the doctor’s note has been provided.

• and a parent/guardian signature. 

Absence notes will be only be accepted up to one (1) week after the child has missed school. After the one (1) week, the reason for the absence will stand and not be changed. Absence notes and phone calls must be made by the legal parent/guardian.

For any other attendance-related questions or concerns, please call Sabrina Hicks, attendance secretary, at 440-748-5310.

Please complete this form if you need to pick up your student from school earlier than the our normal dismissal time (2:35 p.m.), or if your high school student needs to leave early on his/her own.

If it is after 7:30 a.m. on the day your child is leaving early, please do not submit this form! Please call the attendance office directly at 440-748-5310

It is important for students and parents/guardians to understand the significance of being punctual to both school and class. By adhering to this policy, students contribute to a positive learning environment and demonstrate respect for their education and peers.

A student who is not in his/her first period class by 7:40 a.m. will be considered tardy.

• 7:35–7:50 a.m. — Students arriving after the 7:35 a.m. arrival bell but within 10 minutes of the start of school (by 7:50 a.m.) should go directly to their first-period class without reporting to the office.

• After 7:50 a.m. — If a student arrives to school after 7:50 a.m, they must report to the Attendance Office and will receive a “Tardy to School.” Failure to check in at the office after 7:50 a.m. will result in disciplinary action.

Tardiness to class may result in the following progressive discipline:

• 1ST – 3RD TARDY – Teacher warning

• 4TH /5TH TARDY – One detention (Assigned by Teacher)

• 6TH & 7TH TARDY – Referral to an assistant principal – Major Detention

• 8TH TARDY & BEYOND – Referral to an assistant principal – In School Assignment (ISA)

Note: Students arriving late to any class during the school day will be marked tardy. A tardy of more than two minutes may be considered a class cut by administration.

Tardiness to school may result in the following progressive discipline

• Teachers should treat this as tardy to class and should follow the above policy.

• Students should NOT be marked tardy on the attendance sheet.

• If a student arrives to class more than ten minutes after the first bell, they need to have a pass from the attendance office and should be marked TARDY on the attendance sheet
