Attendance

The following reasons are considered excused absences:
1. for personal illness
2. for a death or serious illness in the immediate family
3. for recognized religious holidays observed by your faith
4. for absences mandated by order of government agencies
5. for conditions which render school attendance impossible or hazardous to health and safety

For each absence, a written excuse should be sent to your child's teacher upon your child's return to school. Prompt and consistent attendance at school is expected. Instilling these behaviors in our students is an important factor in their school success as well as their future success as adult workers. Students who do not maintain regular punctuality and/or attendance may be referred to the administration, counselor, and/or social worker.
