ABSENCES
Students are expected to be at school, on time, every day unless they are ill or have a doctor's appointment.
School attendance is closely monitored. Parents should call the school's attendance line, 566-1910 press "2", to report each absence and to give the reason for the absence.
When the school does not receive a call and/or a note regarding the absence, the absence is considered to be a "no parent response". This is an unexcused absent. The parent has 5 working days to clear the absent. The State allows us to excuse those absences for illness, medical and dental appointments only. State mandated attendance letters are sent out based on the following: 1st Notification of Truancy - 3 days unexcused absences/tardies 2nd Notification of Truancy - 5 days unexcused absences/tardies Excessive Absences/Tardies - 5 days excused absences/tardies After 6 days unexcused absences/tardies,
a SART meeting could be required. |

Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Start building this habit in preschool so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important.
Good attendance will help children do well in high school, college, and at work.
