Prompt and regular attendance is important. A student can never make up a day missed, even if the assignments are completed. Therefore, we ask that whenever possible, appointments, vacations, and other activities, which require your child to miss school, are scheduled for times when school is not in session. A student who is absent from school for more than three (3) days in one school year, or is tardy in excess of thirty (30) minutes on each of four (4) days or more in one school year, without a valid excuse, is considered a truant and shall be reported to the attendance office or superintendent of the public school district. If your child is not feeling well on a school day, he/she should not come to school. If your child will be absent from school, please call the school office before 8:00 a.m. to report the absence. You will receive a phone call if your child is absent and when the school has not been notified. Students who are absent from school may not participate in after school sports or other school activities (practice, games, student council events, etc.) on the day of their absence.
Removal of students from school during school hours
No agency, organization, or person other than a parent or guardian who has custody and/or a person designated on the emergency card or carpool form is allowed to take a student from the school premises during school hours or immediately before or after school.
Exceptions to this rule may be made only by:
● The parent or guardian, when properly identified
● Properly identified law enforcement officers when an arrest is made
● Properly identified representatives of law enforcement agencies, in case of emergency, as determined by the Principal
