In an attempt to improve student performance and achievement, as well make the educational experience enjoyable and helpful, the teachers, administrators, and school board will be implementing several important changes regarding attendance during the 2016-17 school year. These changes will unify practices between schools and help students and families make the most of their time in school. These changes also bring our school practices in line with existing Utah State Code 53A-11-101 (Compulsory Education).
Absences (Valid/Not Valid)
Box Elder School District will now be using the terms Valid and not Valid rather than excused and not excused.

Box Elder School District will now define tardies and check-ins differently than before.

Box Elder School District will identify students who are missing school without a valid excuse and work with these students and families to improve attendance. Schools will use the following protocol to improve attendance:
