Absences with Acceptable Excuse
If your child is going to be absent, please call the school office before 9:30 a.m. You may request homework be collected and sent to the office for pick up after school, but requests must be made before 9:30 to guarantee it will be ready.
When a student has been absent, a written excuse signed by the parent or guardian is required, and the excuses are kept on file for a period of one year. An acceptable excuse includes illness, attendance at medical or dental appointments, funeral services for family members, quarantine directed by County or City Officials or emergency or special circumstances as determined by the school authorities. Excessive unexcused absences may result in loss of academic credit.
