JE School Attendance

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

Each school should establish and disseminate attendance-taking procedures that include the following elements:

• Parents must notify the school in advance when they expect their child to be more than one hour late to school.

• School personnel will take student attendance within the first hour each day.

In the event that a student is marked absent from school and said student’s parents/guardians have not notified the school to expect such an absence, the school staff will make every effort to contact the parents/guardians to verify the absence.
