Attendance Policy

• Coming to school every day, ready to learn, is important for your child's success -- and it's required by state law 

• Excused absences include:

  • illness or injury

  • a death in the family

  • health care appointments

  • court appearances 

  • religious observance

  • natural disasters

  • outside educational opportunities

You'll need to provide a note within two days of your child's return to school or the absences will be recorded as unexcused. Your principal or teachers will notify you if there are three or more unexcused absences, and will work with you and your child if there is a concern that absences are becoming excessive. Your child will need to make up all work he or she missed, as scheduled by the teacher.
