Scottsbluff High School handbook tightens attendance and class-rank rules
Summary
The board approved the 2025-26 Scottsbluff High School handbook, which adds a per-period attendance rule that can cost credit after 15 unexcused absences, clarifies alternatives for drop-and-add windows, adjusts class-ranking criteria beginning with the Class of 2029, and updates dance and alternative-education language.
High school presenter (S11) walked the board through multiple substantive edits to the Scottsbluff High School 2025-26 parent-student handbook, emphasizing attendance and academic-ranking changes. "We did add a per per period attendance policy where if a student has 15 unexcused absences, they will not be allowed to receive credit for the class," S11 said, and noted students may petition to retain credit if they have a passing grade and correct attendance issues. The presenter also described changes to class-rank eligibility beginning with the class of 2029 and clarified processes for dropping courses without penalty for up to three weeks with administrative review.
Other edits included formal-attire language for dances, separation of alternative-education consequences from regular high school consequences, and a National Honor Society eligibility clarification to ensure members are Scottsbluff High School students. The board moved and approved the SHS handbook as presented.
