Dear Netzaberg Middle School Students & Families,
As we wrap up another incredible school year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. This year has been filled with growth, learning, laughter, and resilience—and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our students, the support of our families, and the unwavering commitment of our staff.
To our students: thank you for showing up each day with curiosity, courage, and kindness. You’ve worked hard, supported one another, and made our school a place where learning comes to life.
To our families: your partnership and encouragement have been essential to our success. Thank you for trusting us with your children and for being such an important part of our school community.
As we head into summer, I hope you all find time to rest, recharge, and enjoy special moments with family and friends. Whether you're traveling, exploring new hobbies, or simply relaxing at home, I wish you a safe and joyful break.
We look forward to welcoming you back in the fall for another exciting year of learning and growth. Until then—have a fantastic summer, Knights!
Warm regards,
Dr. Dean
Principal, Netzaberg Middle School

Attendance Policy
In accordance with the policy stated in DoDEA Regulation 2095.01, “School Attendance,” August 26, 2011, as amended, school attendance is mandatory. All students are required to attend school to ensure continuity of instruction and that they successfully meet academic standards and demonstrate continuous educational progress. School attendance is a joint responsibility between the parent or sponsor, student, classroom teacher, school personnel, and, in some cases, the Command. Students with excessive school absences (or tardiness) shall be monitored by the Student Support Team to assist in the completion of all required work and successful mastery of course objectives.
Daily student attendance is identified based upon a quarter of the school day formula. Students will be identified as present or absent, based on the following criteria:
- Absent up to 25% of the school day = absent one-quarter of the school day
- Absent between 26%–50% of the school day = absent one-half of the school day
- Absent 51%–75% of the school day = absent three-quarters of the school day
- Absent 76%–100% of the school day = full-day absence
DoDEA considers the following conditions to constitute reasonable cause for absence from school for reasons other than school-related activities:
- Personal illness;
- Medical, dental, or mental health appointment;
- Serious illness in the student’s immediate family;
- A death in the student’s immediate family or of a relative;
- Religious holiday;
- Emergency conditions such as fire, flood, or storm;
- Unique family circumstances warranting absence and coordinated with school administration;
- College visits that cannot be scheduled on non-school days; and
- A pandemic event.
Unexcused absences may result in school disciplinary actions. An absence from school or a class without written verification from a parent or sponsor will be unexcused. Student attendance is calculated based upon the date of enrollment in a DoDEA school, which may occur anytime during the school year. Student attendance monitoring is designed to provide a continuum of intervention and services to support families and children in keeping children in school and combating truancy and educational neglect. Parents should notify the school of their child’s absence 30 minutes after the start of the school day. Too many unexcused absences may trigger the Student Support Team to convene.
