Emancipation of Minors

Status of Eighteen-Year Old Students

All school regulations and rules apply to all students in attendance regardless of age. Those students who have reached the age of majority are excused from those regulations requiring notes from parents for absences, tardiness, or other matters for which they are requested. The administration will deal directly with these students on such matters.

It is the responsibility of the student to inform the administration that he/she wishes to be treated as an adult.

It is the policy, however, to report all academic and disciplinary matters to the parents of the students, regardless of the age of the student involved.
