Attendance is very important. Please see that she attends school every day. Her progress at the DAEP will be closely monitored. Failure to follow the rules and regulations for that campus or the comnussion of any other serious offense while she is assigned to the DAEP may result in expulsion from school.

If she withdraws from this school district before the term of the DAEP placement has been served in full, and she later re-enrolls, she will be required to complete the DAEP placement before being allowed to return to the High School campus. Furthermore, copies of this DAEP removal order will accompany your child’s records and will be provided to any other school district which you may seek to enroll.
