Reporting absences are the responsibility of the parent/guardian. To report your child absent, it is important that you do one of the following:

1. Phone the school or email the building secretary before 9:30 a.m. on the day of your child’s absence.
2. Upon returning a child MUST bring a note from the doctor, dentist, parent, etc., stating why the child was not in attendance.

If we do not hear from you by 9:30 a.m., the school must do the following, phone the home, the emergency number and/or place of business to check on the absence. Absences due to trips may be permitted, but prior approval must be received from the principal. Parents should notify the school a minimum of 5 school days ahead of extended absences that would require schoolwork.
