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
• Respect everyone
• Inspire others
• Value learning
• Expect success 

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.

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:

Parent Orientation Information

To ensure pedestrian safety and an efficient traffic flow, we ask that you review and honor our Brandenburg traffic policies.

Arrival:

In-depth Arrival Procedures and Map

A. If you are driving east on Nickens:

1. Enter the parking lot from the front entrance closest to the corner store and follow traffic through the teacher parking lot to the awning (red arrows).
2. Drop off your student at the traffic cone about two car lengths from the awning. Dropping off in front of the awning impedes the flow of traffic and backs up cars.
3. After your student exits the car, proceed towards the front of the building and turn right, drive through the crosswalk directly in front of the school, and exit the parking lot from the east side of the front of the building.

B. If you are driving west on Nickens:

1. Enter the parking lot using the first entrance past the marquee and turn immediately left following the traffic crossing in front of the school (blue arrows).
2. You will use the outer two lanes to drop off your student. The middle lane is for through traffic.
3. After your student exits the car, drive through the crosswalk and exit the parking lot from the east side of the front of the building.
