Attendance Policy
Student attendance at school is an essential ingredient for student success. Because this program is individualized to meet the needs of each child, it is important that your child is in attendance and on time daily. Children will have difficulty learning if they frequently miss school or simply do not attend. Truancy patterns begin in preschool! A goal of this program is to establish routine and consistency in your child's school life. This will create security and confidence as your child transitions into primary school.
However, if your child is sick and must be absent, please call the school or send a note to school upon your child's return notifying us of his/her illness. Students’ attendance is recorded in Infinite Campus. The parent/legal guardian will be contacted if the child’s attendance is irregular or if a child is absent for 3 consecutive days. We value good attendance at preschool. Good attendance habits set early in life transfer to school and work as we grow.
There may be times when your child is too ill to come to school. You, as the parent, need to make that decision—please do not leave it up to the child. When a child comes to school ill, he or she usually spreads the condition to other students and staff members.
Here are some situations in which your child should not be in school:
● Fever over 99* during the night or in the morning before school.
● Vomiting during the night or in the morning before school.
● Diarrhea during the night or in the morning before school.
● A rash that is spreading on his/her skin.
● Coughing which brings up mucus, causes vomiting or choking.
● Thick green mucus from the nose.
● Sticky mucous and reddened eyes
