Principals and teachers are responsible for checking the regular attendance of all students. Every absence must be recorded on the attendance register and record. Elementary schools record absences according to the instructions on the Student Attendance Register.
Parents must notify the school office by 8:30 a.m. of a student's absence from school. Notification of the school must occur for each day of the absence.
A note stating the reason for the absence and the days absent is required in order for the student to be readmitted to the classroom. It must be a dated letter that includes the dates of the absence, the reason for the absence, and a parent's/guardian's signature. A note from the doctor is necessary in the case of communicable diseases. Students have 24 hours to submit this note.
