STUDENT REGULATIONS
An environment of mutual respect for the rights of others must prevail
for Brother Rice to fulfill its mission and so students are expected to
conduct themselves as Christian gentlemen who respect themselves and
their teachers, as well as the rights and property of their fellow peers.
Students are encouraged to form, hold, discuss and express their own
beliefs and opinions. However, a student’s exercise of free expression
must not interfere with the rights and dignity of other students, and all
students must be able to learn and grow in an atmosphere of mutual
respect.
By enrolling at Brother Rice, both students and parents agree that the
student will comply with all regulations and disciplinary standards that
are now in effect or which may become effective during the student’s
enrollment concerning conduct, dress, attendance and official vacation
periods and that the student will fulfill all academic requirements.
A. ATTENDANCE
ATTENDANCE HOTLINE
24 hours
248.833.2060
It is the student’s, parent/guardians’ and the school’s responsibility to
help ensure the student arrives to school safely and on time, promoting
the growth and development of the student. Attendance is paramount
in that growth and development and thus, Brother Rice expects students
to be present in school for every scheduled school day. It is the school’s
responsibility to identify students with poor attendance early. If a
student is deemed to have an attendance issue, the school will act
accordingly based upon the type of absences and other factors involved,
which may include the involvement of the Oakland County Truancy
Department.
1.
Regular and punctual attendance for each school day and each
class is expected. The warning bell sounds at 7:40 a.m. and
students are expected to be seated in their first period by 7:50
a.m.
2.
Any student who accumulates five (5) excused absences may be
required to have a meeting with his parents/guardians and the
Dean of Student Formation. After reaching ten (10) excused
absences, a doctor’s note or court papers may be required to
excuse any further absence(s). Subsequent absences may result
in the student being reported to the Oakland County Truancy
Department.
Any student who accumulates two (2) unexcused absences may
be required to have a meeting with his parents/guardians and the
Dean of Student Formation. After reaching six (6) unexcused
absences, the student may be referred to Oakland County’s
Truancy Department.
In addition, the student is subject to receiving a failing grade for
all
courses
affected
by
non‐attendance.
Parents/guardians/students may appeal the loss of credit to a
Disciplinary Committee. Following a review, the Principal’s
decision is final. A student with excessive absences may be
dismissed from Brother Rice High School or prohibited from
registering for the next school year.
