Attendance

Absences:

  • If your child is absent from school, you will need to send in a note on the day the child returns to school. Reasons for excused absences are:
    • Illness
    • Family emergency
  • If your child misses school for more than 10 days, the social worker may be sent out to your house or your child may be withdrawn from school. If your child will be absent for this amount of time for any reason, please contact the school.

Tardies

  • A child is considered tardy if they arrive at school any time after 8:45 am.
  • If a child is tardy, he/she must go to the office to receive a tardy slip. Parents should accompany their children into the office when students are late.
  • 5 tardies is equal to 1 absence when looking at a student's attendance record.
  • If your child is tardy more than 5 times during the school year, the social worker may be sent to your house.

Leaving Early

  • Students may be signed out of school early by their parents or other adults designated by the parents.
  • Parents or other designated adults need to go to the front office and sign out the student. The office will call the classroom and the student will come up to the office. At no time should the parent go to the classroom to get the student.
  • When signing out a student, be sure to have a photo ID ready.
  • Parents will not be allowed to sign students out during the last 20 minutes of the school day. This means that students must be signed out before 2:30 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and before 1:30 on Wednesday.
