Attendance
Student Entrance and Exit Door
Students who arrive late or leave early must sign in or out with their school ID at the Main Door.
- Students may use their ID from last year until their new ID is printed.
- They can also use their digital ID using Infinite Campus. Students should download the Infinite Campus App to access their Digital ID. Click here for directions.
*Students are not allowed to use any other door to enter or leave the building. Students who do so, or allow other students into side doors, will be assigned a consequence up to and including suspension.
Attendance Protocols
Beginning of the School Day
School begins at 7:30 a.m. All students should be in their 1st hour class and ready to learn. Students who enter after 7:30 a.m must sign in at Door #1 with their School ID.
Start of Each Class Period
Students have 4 minutes of passing time between class periods and 8 minutes on block days. No hall passes will be issued the first 10 minutes of class. Any student in the hall during this time will not be allowed to use the vending machines and the School Store will not be open. Students are encouraged to plan ahead to ensure they get to class on time.
PIRATE Time
All students will be assigned for Homeroom and Choice Days. Students who do not sign up for a Choice Day Option will be automatically assigned to a room that is not their homeroom.
Attendance will be taken on both Homeroom and Choice Days and reported home using Infinite Campus!
Closed Campus
Bay Port is a closed campus, which means students are not allowed to leave for PIRATE Time, lunch, or study halls during the day. Students should only leave the building (and sign out at the front desk) for the following reasons:
- Developing Young Leaders scheduled volunteer placement
- Off Campus Classes: UWGB, NWTC, St. Norbert, or Bellin
- Youth Apprenticeship scheduled work
- Parent/guardian excuse on file to attend an appointment
Students who leave without an excused reason will not be allowed to exit or will be marked Left Without Permission.
End of the School Day
The school day ends at 2:40 p.m. All students should remain in their classroom until the bell rings. Any student leaving prior to 2:40 p.m. must sign out at the Main Door.
*Only 12th grade students are granted Late Start/Early Release due to study halls at the beginning or end of their school day. These students must still sign in or out.
Attendance Codes and Consequences
Parents/guardians should call the Attendance Line at 920-662-7248 to excuse their child before an absence. Another option is to use the Self-Report option in Infinite Campus.
- Students who do not have a pre-excused reason on file for an absence will automatically be assigned a detention to be served the following school day from 2:45-3:30 p.m.
- To avoid complications, parents/guardians should call or arrange the absence as soon as possible.
