Dear Mr. Naeem Cohen, respected guardian of the student Ghassan Naeem Cohen
From Class: Second Intermediate
Please be informed that based on your son's / daughter's absences from school, the
total points deducted from his / her attendance grades up to the date 12/19/1971
has reached (10) points. The school administration would like to inform you that Article (42) of the
Secondary Schools Regulation No. (60) of 1968, as amended by the regulation
amending the Secondary Schools Regulation No. (63) of 1969 regarding absences
from school, stipulates the following:
"The full attendance grade is considered one hundred each year, and two points are deducted from
attendance grades for each day a student is absent without a legitimate excuse. A student's absence for every four
separate lessons is considered equivalent to one day of absence from school. A student is considered to have failed
their grade if fifty-one points or more are deducted from their attendance, provided that the guardian is notified
when ten points or more are deducted and inquired about the reasons for the absence. A student may not
participate in the final exam if their absences exceed forty-five school
days, regardless of the excuses."
Please note this and cooperate with the administration in monitoring your son / daughter and urging
him / her not to interrupt attendance in the future.
