Attendance Requirements

Student Absences:

• we are required to have a written note from the parent/guardian/medical office within 5 (five) days of the absence received in the attendance office to be considered excused.

• we greatly appreciate your call reporting your student’s absence, however, phone calls do not excuse the absence.

   

• absence notes submitted to attendance should include the student’s first and last name, date of the absence, reason for absence, parent signature and date the note was written.

   

• unexcused absences: a student commits an offense of the student is absent for 10 (ten) or more days or parts of days within a six-month period or 3 (three) or more days or parts of days in a four-week period. these absences will generate a truancy warning letter sent to the parents/guardians.

   

• please refer to the student handbook pages 25-34 for attendance information.
