The mission of Marlton Elementary School is to assure that all students acquire knowledge and develop skills and work habits to become productive members of society. We believe that our school s purpose is to educate The whole child academically, socially, physically and emotionally within a positive school climate. We accept the responsibility to teach all students so that they can attain their maximum educational potential. It is important for parents to call and let us know when their child has to be absent, however, this call has to be followed up with a written note upon the child s return. It is our policy to check on all absences of three days if we have not heard from the parents.
Parents are legally responsible for their child s attendance and punctuality.
This note must be dated and have your signature. You will need to sign a roster at the time your child leaves school with you. If an emergency makes it necessary for a parent to call for a child who has not presented a note, permission must be obtained from the school office before a teacher may release the child from class. The adult picking up your child MUST sign them out in the office. All of the above early departure procedures are necessary for your child s protection.
