Attendance

  • Portland Evening & Summer Scholars Attendance Expectations

    Portland Evening Scholars is not an online program. There are 13 classes to cover 18 weeks of work. Attendance is critical and expected. We do not have ‘excused absences’. Students that are absent for the first 3 weeks of class are automatically unenrolled as a No Show. After this initial 3-week drop, absences will continue to be monitored for all students throughout the 13-week term. Once 3 absences have been accrued by a student, the following will happen:

    • Absence 3: Students will receive a notice which will be emailed to the student, guardian, day time counselor, and PES teacher as a reminder that students are dropped at 5 absences and to offer support in avoiding more absences.   
    • Absence 4: Students will receive a notice which will be emailed to the student, guardian, day time counselor, and PES teacher as a reminder that students are dropped at 5 absences and to offer support in avoiding more absences.
    • Absence 5:  Students will be unenrolled from Evening Scholars due to attendance.  This is not a disciplinary action, rather an acknowledgement that despite all the effort to get the student to attend class, this is simply not the right time for them to enroll in our program and we will welcome them to try again in a future session when their busy lives are more inline with attending class. 

  • Enrollment Prioritization  

    Summer Scholars will not enroll students for grade improvement or credit advancement. Students in these situations are invited to enroll in Evening Scholars.
