The Attendance Law states the compulsory attendance law requires students who are at least six years old and less than nineteen years of age to attend school. (25.082)

Brandenburg is committed to helping your child succeed. View our CCBMS Attendance Policy here.

The following are the parameters of our CCBMS Attendance Mission:

• Stay focusted
• Take responsibility

Students will be considered tardy if they are not in their classroom ready to work when the bell rings. Students only have 4 minutes, so they must go directly to their next class. If students are tardy they will be marked tardy by their teacher and tardies will accumulate into consequences. If a student is more than 10 minutes late to class, they will be marked absent. 

Brandenburg Tardy Plan

Policy Details: 

Upon entering the building, students must turn cell phones off and place their phones and all electronic devices in their backpacks, which will be stored in a designated area, visible to students, in each classroom until the end of class. This policy does not apply to campus-issued Chromebooks. Cell phones should not be seen or heard inside the school building until the end of the school day.

Enforcement:

If a student is found with a device, it will be collected by the teacher or a designee and taken to the main office. The device will be stored securely, parent/guardian contact will be made, and the parent must retrieve and pay the required fee as applicable between 4:15 - 4:40 PM daily.

Consequences and Fees:

• First Offense: No charge.

• Additional Offenses: $15 fee per offense.

Repeated offenses or refusal to surrender devices will be treated as acts of insubordination, in accordance with the student handbook.

We will continue to adhere to and enforce the GISD School Board Policy FNCE (Local), as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct, and described in the student handbook.
