Attendance Policy
Absence from School (Policy 204)
An excused absence includes illness of a pupil, quarantine, death in the immediate family, impassable roads, and exceptional urgent reasons that affect the child.
If your child is too ill to attend classes, please call or email the school between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. to report the absence. Calling a student off is not an official excuse from school. We must have documentation indicating the absence in order for it to be considered excused. If the student is to be absent more than one day, homework assignment requests should be made by contacting your child’s school counselor.
If an absence is expected to last for an extended period of time, parents should notify school administrators. Excuse blanks can be found on the district website. There are 3 ways to submit attendance:
