NHS+Policies

__**NHS Attendance Policy:**__ Meetings are held once a week, Wednesday mornings at 6:55am in the library. All NHS officers arrive at that time. From 6:55am - 7am will be social discussion time. To ensure proper attendance records, the library doors will be locked at 7am and any student who is not present at that time is marked absent for the meeting (ex: 7:01am). Each student is allowed three absences per school year. We do not need to know why you were not able to attend. If you incur a fourth absence, you will be removed from the society. These norms are put in place in order to keep our entire society running smoothly.
