Attendance Matters

Excuse Notes
Please remember to send in a note from the doctor or a parent note when your child is absent. Each child get 5 parent notes each year. Remember, your child can't learn the material if they are not in school. Please help us by scheduling appointments after school or during breaks. Attendance really does matter.
August Attendance Challenge
August perfect attendance challenge is underway.  Students who do not miss a day in August will receive a special treat at the end of the month.  Encourage and support your child to have perfect attendance this month.  Try to schedule appointments after school or on breaks!

Attendance Procedures
Please make sure you send in a parent note or doctors note with your child when they return after an absence.  You can send in a parent note for 5 days worth of absences.  Any absence other than those must have a doctor or dentist note to be excused.  Please remember, this is more about ensuring students are at school to receive the daily instruction from the teacher.  Students can make up missing assignments, but they cannot get back the instruction the teacher provided that day.  Also, leaving school early is considered a tardy, as well is coming in late.  Instruction begins at 8:00am each day and does not end until 3:00pm.  Please help us by limiting the time students miss from the classroom.  We appreciate your support with this!
