Attendance

Additional Information

Please call (385) 646-5116 to report (or excuse) an absence or to release a student.  

It is important that students are where they are supposed to be, when they are supposed to be there, doing what they are supposed to be doing. Activities, discussions, simulations, and presentations take place every day and often cannot be duplicated even by after-school instruction or makeup work. Educational achievement comes through class participation as well as through assignments, projects, and tests.  ATTENDANCE IS ONE OF THE MAIN FACTORS OF HOW WELL STUDENTS DO IN SCHOOL!  

It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to notify the school with a note or phone call of legitimate absences at the Attendance Office at 385-646-5116.  Legitimate absences are defined as verified illness, medical appointments, bereavement, court appearances, emergencies, pre-approved educational leave, and special family or religious events.  

If you move or change your telephone, please notify the Counseling Center. Students and parents should use Gradebook to confirm that absences have been excused.   All attendance concerns need to be resolved before the end of the grading period. 

If you are LEAVING EARLY, bring a written note to the Counseling Center.  It must have the name of the student, student number, and date.  If, because of a sudden illness or emergency, a student must leave school early, they must always report to the Counseling Office to call a parent and be issued a  “Street Pass” so both parent and school can account for the whereabouts of the student at all times during school hours.
