lasting more than three days must be approved by the student’s

result in unexcused absences. Remember, administrators will be working

Because of the number of calls we handle throughout the day, we
cannot accept phone calls to dismiss your child early for appointments.
Notes are required or you may physically come to the school to dismiss your
child. Exceptions
can be made for urgent medical appointments.
IF YOUR
CHILD FEELS SICK DURING THE SCHOOL DAY:
- Your
student must go to the clinic, the clinic will contact you directly to
pick up your child.
- Should a
student be ill at school, s/he may need medical attention and must report
directly to the clinic. Your student should not directly contact you
for dismissal.
IF
A STUDENT ARRIVES LATE TO SCHOOL:
-
We
do not accept phone messages for late arrivals.
- In this
case, a Parent/Guardian or Medical office note is accepted with a
late-arriving student. Students are considered excused for reasons such as
illness, court appointment, medical appointments, etc.
- Students
must check in at one of the two Tardy Tables (located at Entrances 11 and
6) to receive a pass to class before 9:00am. After 9:00am, students should
report to the Attendance Office located outside the Main Office for tardy a
pass.
IF A
STUDENT WILL BE ABSENT:
