Attendance
Please call the school office by 8:15 a.m. the day your child is absent. This is for your child’s protection. When a student has been absent, a written excuse giving the reason for the absence and signed by the parent or guardian is required for readmission to class. This is a state law and must be strictly followed.
Students will not be admitted back into class without a signed absence note. The excuses are kept on file for the duration of the year.
Make-Up work
When calling to report a student’s absence, parents may request make-up work to be sent home, if the student will be absent more than one day. Do not ask a teacher for homework the first day of illness. If they are truly ill, they should take that day to rest and recover.
The request for work must be made when the absence is called in to the office. The teacher will send the work to the school office to be picked up at dismissal. Students are expected to make up the work missed during their absence. They will have as many days to complete the missed work as they were absent.
