Good attendance is critical for student success at Harrisburg Elementary.  All absences will be coded unexcused unless an email or a written note from the parent/guardian is received.  State law allows absences to be excused for the following reasons:

• Illness or Injury
• Quarantine
• Death in the Immediate Family
• Medical or Dental Appointments
• Court or Administrative Proceedings
• Religious Observance

 

 

  Your request must be submitted for consideration two weeks prior to the absence.  Click Here to download the Prior Approval form.

 

 

 

Absences for personal trips are not excused according to state guidelines.  In order to be considered in attendance, a student must be present at least one-half of the school day. At the elementary level more than ten (10) absences a semester or 20 absences a year are considered excessive. If illness is given as the primary reason for non-attendance, the principal may request a physician's documentation.
