Absences with Acceptable Excuse
If you are taking your child out of school for an appointment, please write a note to the teacher letting him / her know the time of the appointment. A student leaving school for any appointment will be met at the school office by the parent who signs a release before taking the student. Parents may not go directly to classrooms to get their child.
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. Acceptable excused absences are 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.
The parent/guardian is responsible to inform the front office no later than 9:00 a.m. using the following email attendance@stvincentla.net if the child is ill and will not be attending school.
Student missed work: All student work will be given only upon student‘s return to school. Teachers reserve the right to decide what work is to be made up.
Self-contained classes (TK-5th): all missed work will be given to students upon their return.
6th - 8th grade: Absent work is the student’s responsibility. Students must collect absent work from the teacher.
Missed Assessments: When a student misses an assessment due to an absence, he/she must make up the test at the teacher’s discretion.
