Absences
Parents MUST call the school office by 8:30 a.m. the day your child is absent. You may leave a message with your child’s name, grade, and reason for absence. This is for your child's protection.
Excessive Absences
Excessive absences are more than five days in a trimester or 10 days in a school year. The school has a responsibility to report excessive absences to the proper authorities. Extenuating circumstances such as emergency travel, sickness, or a death in the family is always considered and families are encouraged to communicate with us when excessive absences occur.
Attendance on Sick Day
If a student stays home due to illness, they may not come to school later in the day. Please keep the student home to fully rest and recover from their illness.
MakeUp Work
When calling to report a student's absence, parents may request makeup work to be sent home, if the student is absent more than one day. The teacher will send the work to the school office to be picked up at dismissal if the request for make-up work is made before 10:00 a.m. of that day. Students are expected to makeup work missed during their absence.
Absence And After-School Activities
Students who miss school because of illness or an unexcused absence will not be eligible to participate in after school extracurricular activities that day.
