Attendance Policy & Dismissal Changes

Absences and appointments can be called in at any time to 616-254-6881, e-mailed to oakesattendance@gpsbulldogs.org or send us a message through Talking Points. Please leave your name, your student's name, your student's grade, your student's teacher, the date, and the reason for their absence. If no reason is given, the absence will be entered as unexcused.

If you are making a change to your student's normal dismissal schedule, please inform your child's teacher and the office before 1pm. We will make every effort to inform your student of the change but cannot accommodate last minute changes as our bus riders are dismissed before our pick up/walking students.

All students leaving prior to our 2:35 dismissal time must be signed out by a parent before leaving the building. If you need someone else to pick your student up, please leave that person's information on the attendance line as well.
