Good attendance is very important for each child.
Students are expected to be in school except in cases of illness or emergency. If there is no phone, send a written excuse to the child's teacher the day the child returns to school. Absences are excused for personal illness, quarantine in the home, death of a relative, and for observance of a religious holiday. Others that are considered excused include serving as a page for the Indiana General Assembly and juvenile or criminal justice detentions. An unexcused absence occurs when a student is absent from school or an individual class without obtaining either the approval or consent of the principal, the principal's designee, or as authorized by Indiana law.
