Attendance
Why do I have to log Attendance?
The state requires parents to log attendance for their child as part of the responsibilities of enrolling in an online school. Not logging attendance can be considered truancy.
Each week, parents and guardians are REQUIRED to submit their child’s weekly attendance.
ASU Prep Digital follows the State Guidelines for Average Time:
• 9-12: Average 30 hours per week
• 6-8: Average 35 hours per week
• 1-5: Average 30 hours per week
• KG: Average 15 hours per week
• Part Time: 5 hours per course per week
• Summer School: Average 20 hours per week/per course
When do I log attendance?
Attendance for the week can be logged each Friday.
How many hours do I log each day?
The amount of time spent each day on coursework is determined by the student’s family and is flexible. You may decide to trade a weekday for a weekend day or stagger your days, for example:
