If your child is absent from school:
They will be missed!
Attendance is taken every morning by 8:00. This starts a computerized process in which CPS sends a robo call to you to let you know that your child is missing from school. Please notify the office if your child will be absent. To excuse the absence, the office will also need a note of explanation from you.
New this year:
The Parent Portal is also utilized to submit attendances notes for student absences. Use the link below for direction on how to use the new system.
A Note about Vacations:
Vacations are strongly discouraged during the school year. Please try your best to avoid them, as your child will miss valuable learning. Teachers will not be able to give work for vacations ahead of time, so all work will need to be made up later, according to CPS Absent Policy.
Finally:
It is the responsibility of your child to make up any missing work. They should schedule an appointment with teachers to go over everything, including missing assignments. Per CPS policy, students will have the same number of days as they were absent to make up all work. Work turned in after that time will not be accepted.
