Attendance Policy

State Law requires schools to account for all student absences. Valid excuses include the following:

• Illness
• Visitation to a medical office, clinic, doctor, or dentist
• Funeral of immediate family member
• Quarantine of the home

Parents may call the Attendance Office at 357-5900, Ext. 14121 or 14122 (Español). A 24- hour message phone will record your message. Please give the following information:

• The student’s first and last name and grade
• The date(s) he or she was or will be absent
• The reason for the absence
• Your name and a phone number where we can reach you

If you cannot call, please send a note with your child. The note should contain the same information as above. All absences must be cleared within three (3) days, or they will become full day truancies and/or unexcused absences.

*No students will be checked out after 3:00 PM. If you need to pick up your child early, please do so before 3:00 PM. (Wednesday’s before 1:30 PM)
