STUDENT ABSENCE AND REPORTING

STUDENT ABSENCE REPORTING

Attending school every day has a positive impact on student learning and helps to put students on a track towards success. Parents and guardians are responsible for ensuring that children attend school and must authorize absences by notifying their child's school in advance or at the time of the absence. Valid absences include illness or a family emergency.

REPORTING PROCEDURES

If a child will be absent, the parent/guardian must call and report the absence and provide the name of the child, his or her grade and reason for the absence. To report a student absence, please call the main number of the school and follow the automated reporting instructions. If a student is absent for more than a week, the student and/or parent or guardian is encouraged to make arrangements with the classroom teacher to arrange for completion of missed classroom work and assignments.
