Students are not allowed to leave the school premises during the school day unless necessary. All Students are expected to attend regularly and to be on time for their classes. Regular attendance is necessary if Students want to be successful at Bardy and in life.
Students may be excused from attendance only in dire cases. An excused absence will be granted only after a note is received from the Parent/guardian of the Student. Students with excused absences will be allowed to make up for the work they missed. Students whose absences are unexcused may or may not be allowed to make up for their work. This is at the discretion of the subject Supervisor.
In normal circumstances, Students are not allowed to attend the end of year exams unless they attend 85% of the days of the academic year.
In case of a student’s early leave, a written permission from the Parent/ guardian must be presented to the Administration Office in the morning indicating the time and reason that the Student need to leave school. Parents, who would like to pick up their Students before the end of the normal school hours, should sign an early leave from the Administration Office to be granted and given at the gate. Early leave is not permitted by phone calls.

The root of success lies within the regular attendance.
