Absences/Tardies/

Illnesses

Your child's absence must be logged in the Parent Square, each day they are absent from school.  If your child attends an after-school program, please make sure to inform them separately about any absences as well.

Absences and Tardies: Regular attendance is a critical aspect in the success a student achieves. Learning to be on time is an important personal habit to develop.  School begins promptly at 8:30am; your child needs to be on time.  Excessive absences and/or tardiness disrupt the learning process for your child.  Regular and prompt attendance is necessary in order for a student to progress satisfactorily with his/her class. 

Please be aware that extended absences or tardies may cause your child to miss introduction or practice of important concepts.  Family trips should be planned during scheduled breaks. 

Students will be considered late after 8:30 am and will need to get a late slip

 If your child has a doctor or dentist appointment and you need to pick your child up during the school day, please send a note with your child or email me before school to let me know.  You will still need to check your child out at the office before they can leave the classroom.  Please keep in mind, it is important that your child miss school as less as possible.
