ATTENDANCE AND TARDIES

Good attendance habits allow students to gain the optimum benefit from daily classroom instruction.  The parent/legal guardian is asked to call the attendance office at 763-1840 before 10:30 p.m. each day of an absence to provide the following information: Name and grade level of student; date(s) of absence; reason for absence; and name of person calling and relationship to student. You may also send a note with your student the day after their absence with the same details as above. Only parents and legal guardians may report an absence.

 

School begins at 8:30 a.m.  Time is our precious school ingredient.  PARENTS ARE URGED TO HAVE THEIR CHILD AT SCHOOL ON TIME.  Students who arrive on campus after start time will need to report to the office for a tardy pass.  Excessive tardies may result in one or more of the following consequences:

  1.  Student and/or parent conference with principal.

  2.  Parent meets with School Attendance Review Team.

  3.  Parent meets with the district School Attendance Review Board.

 

Three or more unexcused absences are considered excessive by school district policy and the state law.  Parents will receive a letter from the school when student attendance patterns show excessive absences and/or are interfering with the student's educational progress.  Continued absences will require parent contact with the District Child Welfare and Attendance Office or the School Attendance Review Board.
