Absences Procedures:

● Students arriving after school has begun, need to report to the office for an admit slip and will not be admitted to class without it. A parent/guardian should accompany their student into the school to officially check them in or call the Attendance Secretary, 792-7729, to explain the reason for being late. ● School activity absences will be automatically school excused.

● Absences must be verified by a parent/guardian within one week after the absence. The school attendance phone number is 792-7729.

● After being absent, it is the student’s responsibility to contact their teachers, makeup any missed work, and return it in a timely manner.

● If your student has been marked incorrectly in a class, please have your student speak with the teacher directly the following day to have the attendance adjusted. This information can be found in Powerschool.

● It is best to contact teachers directly regarding missed work. Additionally, students and parents/legal guardians are encouraged to utilize applicable teachers’ Canvas pages to access missed work.
