It is the parent’s responsibility to notify the appropriate school office on the day of absence and to provide a written excuse upon the student’s return. Upon their return to school, students with excused absences are expected to consult with their teachers regarding missed work.
Absences, tardies, and early dismissals are unexcused when they do not meet the above criteria.
