Attendance

A parent is expected to report any absence by phone (preferably prior to the absence) to attendance. To excuse an absence, a parent/guardian must call within 24 hours following the absence.  All absences not verified by a parent/guardian or authorized by an administrator will remain unexcused. No changes will be made to attendance after 24 hours. Please check ParentVue on a daily basis to ensure all absences are updated. If a student or parent feels the student was marked absent incorrectly, please have the student talk to their teacher about the absence.  The teacher will take care of it through the attendance office. All absences excused by a doctor’s note, court paperwork, college visit verification, etc. must be given to the attendance specialist on the student’s first day back to school after that absence.

 

ALL ABSENCES MUST BE REPORTED WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Late Arrivals/Tardy to School
We encourage parents to assist students with arriving to school on school. Please be aware of traffic issues and plan accordingly. Students who come to class late cause a classroom disruption and disrespect to classmates and teachers. There are two scenarios for tardy students - please follow the following procedures:

• With Doctor/Dentist's note - Students go to the attendance office with an doctor note/appointment slip and will be issued an excused pass to class.
• Without Doctor/Dentist's note - Students will go the attendance office and receive an unexcused pass to class.

Parents do not need to sign or call in students as the only excused tardy is with a doctor/dentist note. Students more than 10 minutes late to school will be marked absent for that class.
