Which statement accurately describes Attendance award eligibility?

• A. No unexcused absences.
• B. No more than 6 excused absences and no unexcused absences or 10 excused tardiness.
• C. No tardiness of any kind.
• D. Exactly 5 excused absences.

Answer: (B)

Attendance awards hinge on presence and punctuality, treating unexcused absences as unacceptable while allowing limited room for legitimate absences or late arrivals. The best statement expresses two practical paths to eligibility: you can have up to six excused absences as long as there are no unexcused absences, or you can have up to ten excused tardies. This captures the balance between strict presence and real-world situations where absences or tardiness may be excused.

The other options are too rigid or incomplete. Saying there can be no unexcused absences without addressing tardiness misses a realistic allowance for lateness; forbidding any tardiness is overly strict and not typical of attendance policy; fixing an exact number of excused absences (like five) is too narrow and inflexible.
