Attendance
Absence notes must be provided within three days of the absence and should include the students first and last name, ID number, date(s) of absence and reason for the absence. A note should be sent upon your students return, even if you have already made a call reporting the absence.
If your student is being picked up during instructional time, please send a note with your student in the morning stating what time they will be picked up. Students will not be released from class without a note from the attendance office. The student should bring that note to the attendance office where they will receive a pass to meet you in the front office at the designated time. You are required to come into the school to sign out your student. Adhering to the attendance procedures helps keep interruptions in the classroom to a minimum. We appreciate your help in making this run smoothly.
This is also a great time to confirm on your emergency form which individuals are eligible to pick up your student. A sibling is not eligible to pick up unless they are designated as an emergency contact. The emergency form can be updated at any time with new emergency contacts and numbers. Simply go to the parent portal - Student Registration and update the Emergency Contact section.
