Maximum success can best be attained through regular attendance; therefore, it is of the

utmost importance that students are in class. Parents of students, or those having legal

custody, have the responsibility for their child’s regular school attendance consistent

with Illinois School Code.

The school monitors attendance records quarterly, including

tardy arrivals, and contacts the parents of students who are not in compliance with the

code. If your child misses more than 5% of the attendance days, you will be contacted by

the principal to discuss these absences.

However, children should not attend school when ill. Absences for reasons other than illness should be minimized. Children shall be re-admitted to school according to the isolation/exclusion

requirements in Rules and Regulations for the Control of Communicable Diseases, published by the Illinois Department of Public Health.

If your child vomits or has diarrhea during the school day, you will be contacted and required to take your child home. Children should be fever and diarrhea free and not vomiting for 24 hours prior to returning to

school.

IMPORTANT: If your child is well enough to attend school, they should be prepared to

participate in the normal school day activities. This includes going outside for all

recesses and Physical Education classes. Cough drops are not permitted for the children

to use while in school due to the hazard of choking and possible allergies.

If your child is absent, you MUST call the school by 9:30 a.m. We are required by state

law to attempt to contact you. You can also report an absence any time between 4:15

p.m. & 7:45 a.m. by calling 630 428-6700, and use Option #3. Leave the necessary

information requested on the message.
