​​​​Absences​

​Principals and teachers are responsible for checking the regular attendance of all students. Every absence must be recorded on an attendance register (hard copy or electronic). All attendance policies should be clearly defined in the parent/student handbook.​

At Saint Anne School, for the safety of your child/children and the convenience of the teacher please call the office before 9:00 a.m. the first day your child is absent.  When absent from school a student may not legally be readmitted without a written note explaining the absence.  It must be presented to the homeroom teacher when the student returns to school or the parents may be called to bring a note for readmission.  While a phone call regarding the student’s absence is mandatory the day of the absence, it does not replace the written note.

If a child has been diagnosed with a communicable disease, please call the office so that precautions may be taken and notification sent home.  A student who has been absent from school because of a reportable communicable disease must have a permit issued by the Public Health Department, a physician, or a nurse, before s/he is readmitted to school.
