A written excuse needs to be turned in to the office within three days of a child's return to school. If an excuse is not submitted, the absence will be counted as an illegal absence. The Carlisle Area School District allows five days of prearranged absence per school year. Prearranged absence can be used for family trips during the year. Parents need to give classroom teachers at least five days advance notice to prepare school work that will be missed.
Children are responsible for missed school work while away on trips.
Tardies can be excused or illegal depending on the reason as determined by the building principal. Accompany your child to the office and sign in with a tardy excuse. If a child needs to take medication during the school day, parents must provide the medication in a prescription bottle containing the required dosage for the day. Please do not send medications with your child on the bus. Parents are expected to personally bring all medication to the office.
