Parents may request a print-out of their child's attendance by simply calling the attendance office. If a student must be on school grounds the day of an excused absence, the student should call the Attendance Office before coming to campus and check in there immediately upon arrival. If an absence is planned, such as trips, college visits, religious holidays, etc. The student must bring a note, stating the date and reason for the absence, to the attendance office prior to the absence. The student will be given a form for all teachers to sign.
Parents are to read the teachers' comments and also sign the form.
The completed form must be returned to the attendance office prior to the date of the absence. Car trouble, missed bus, pupil placement transportation problems, and oversleeping are not excused. Students who do not check in will not be excused for the classes they missed. Due to limited staff, passes cannot be delivered to classrooms. When writing a note, please include the student's full name, reason for and time of dismissal, and a phone number where the parent can be reached during the day.
