Attendance
What to do if your
son or daughter has been absent?
A note with the student's full name and
signed by the parent or guardian, stating a valid reason for the
absence, must be presented to the attendance office the day following
an absence.
How does a student
get the class work missed while out sick?
Make-up work is the responsibility of
the student. Students are expected to ask their teachers for work they
missed and to complete it as directed by the teacher. Counselors may be
contacted to obtain assignments if the student has an absence of three
or more days.
Can a student get
an early dismissal from school?
Yes, requests for early dismissal must
include the time, reason, and parent's telephone number; must be signed
by the parent or guardian; and must be brought to the attendance office
prior to the beginning of classes. Students must sign out in the
attendance office at the time of early dismissal. Failure to do so will
result in an unexcused absence from any classes missed.
