Attendance Policies
Students and parents must be impressed with the importance of regular school attendance, as required by law. Regular attendance is an important factor in academic success. Students are expected to be in class daily and to be punctual. Current home and work phone numbers must be provided to the school on the emergency card, so that immediate contact can be made regarding any emergency or any irregularity in attendance. When parents are out of town, it is the parent’s responsibility to inform the school as to who will assume guardianship (responsibility for the student).
Students are not released to strangers or to callers without written parental consent.
Procedures Regarding Absences
- Parents/Guardians must call the attendance office between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM each day the student is absent. PLEASE leave a message regarding the reason for the student(s) absence.
- Upon returning to school, follow directions in the next section regarding a written note.
