ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
A. In order for your child to gain the most in school, he must be regular in attendance. Please do not keep your child at home for reasons other than sickness or emergency. Planned absences such as family vacations must be excused in advance. Failure to get advance permission will result in no credit for work missed.
B. When a student is absent he must bring a written excuse to school the day he returns and give it to his teacher. The note should include the following information:
· Date of absence or tardiness
· Reason for absence or tardiness
· Signature of parent or guardian
· Parent or guardian’s phone number
C. If an elementary student is absent for more than 20 days during the year, he will not be promoted to the next grade.
D. As a general rule 3 tardies equal one absence.
E. As a general rule, make up work must be completed upon returning within the number of days missed plus two. Make-up work for long periods of absenteeism is given special consideration and is handled on an individual basis.
F. The school day begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. All students are expected to be in their classrooms at this time. Late arrivals are to report to the school office. Late students will not be admitted to class without an official late slip.
G. Students who are extremely tardy (leave early or arrive late) must be at school at least 3 ½ hours in order to be counted present.
H. In order for your child to be counted present for that day, they must be here by 11:30 a.m.
I. Vacations during the school year cause hardships on the educational process. If advance approval is not obtained, missed work will receive a zero.
J. If a student needs to leave early, the parent should come to the school office and sign the student out. The school secretary will then send for the student.
