Students are expected to be present at school and on time to class.
Parents/guardians may call the attendance office 24 hours a day to report or excuse students’ absence. If leaving a message, clearly state:
your student’s name
your relationship to the student
date(s) of absence
reason(s) for absence (please share the specific reason for the absence — particularly if your child has flu or respiratory symptoms)
Students may also give the Attendance Office a written note (from parent/guardian) with the same information signed by a parent/guardian.
A parent/guardian may also email the Attendance Office at [email protected].
Parents have two school business days after a student has returned to school to ask that a student’s absence be excused. After this time the absence will be marked unexcused.
Unexcused Absence will be issued for the following reasons:
Truancy
Reason for absence is not justifiable
Student fails to bring a note from parent/guardian
Tardiness to school will be unexcused unless they are due to:
An emergency (power failure, car accident, etc.)
Doctor/dental appointment
