Florida Statues and Leon County School District policy state that it is the responsibility of the student's parents/guardians to notify the school when their child will not be in attendance.  

It is the responsibility of the parent/guardians to make sure their children have recovered from contagious diseases before returning to school.

A written excuse from the parent/guardian is required when a student has been absent or if the child is late for school or leaves early because of a doctor's appointment. For appointments, a note from the physician is required. If the student is home sick, a note from the parent/guardian with the dates the student was absent is sufficient. 

All written excuses can be emailed or turned in to the attendance secretary at haverlahd@leonschools.net, the homeroom teacher, or it can be uploaded to FOCUS.
