Excused absences are those accounted for through parent contact or medical/legal documentation. School activities do not count as an absence. All other absences will be considered unexcused. Please remember, an absence must be excused within 24 hours or it remains unexcused.
Excused absences include: illness, recovery from an accident, professional appointments, required court attendance, death in the immediate family, and observance or celebration of a bona fide religious holiday. Other situations will be considered unexcused.
It is helpful for parents to schedule medical and dental appointments before or after school hours. If scheduling at these times is not possible, please call the main office. Parents should come to the office when picking up a student during the school day and insure their student has signed out before leaving.
All injuries must be reported to a teacher or the office. If minor, the student will be treated and may return to class. If medical attention is required, the office will follow the School’s emergency procedures.
A student who becomes ill during the school day should request permission to go to the office. An appropriate adult in the office will determine whether or not the student should remain in school or go home. No student will be released from school without proper parental permission.
