Attendance Policy
  • School starts at 7:30am anyone arriving after 7:50am will be considered tardy.
  • Anyone arriving after 10:00 is considered absent.
  • Call school to report your child’s absence.
  • If a student is absent a parent note/Doctor's note needs to be turned in to the teacher when the student returns to school.
  • Students are expected to attend school for the entire day. If a student leaves for a doctor's appointment during the day, it is considered a Partial Absence unless the student brings a doctor’s note when the student returns to school.
  • Students must be in attendance 90% of the school days. If a student misses more than 10% of school days over the academic year, the student will be considered chronically absent.
  • A Warning Letter will be issued if the child has had three or more absences within a four (4) week period without an excuse.
