ATTENDANCE POLICY

Students are expected, by law, to attend school every day unless they are ill. Doctor and dentist appointments should be scheduled after school. .  Daily attendance allows for the student to obtain the necessary instruction in the classroom. 

Students must not only attend school daily but arrive on time. On time means a student must be in the classroom when the 8:05am bell rings.   Any time after 8:05am  is considered LATE.  PARENTS MUST SEND A NOTE OR PHONE CALL WITH THE REASON FOR ABSENCE  WITHIN 24 HRS AFTER THE ABSENCE.   If you can provide a doctor/dentist’s clearance for your child, the absence will be excused.

NOTE: Perfect attendance is when a student is in attendance from the time the school day begins until the school day ends.  In order for a student to receive the perfect attendance trophy at the end of the school year, the student must have NO absences, tardies, early dismissals, etc.  However, we do encourage parents to keep students home if they are ill; they will NOT be allowed to remain at school.
