Absence Procedure
Illness - Parents must call / notify the school within five days of absence. Unverified absences will be considered unexcused absences.
Doctor's Appointments, Early Dismissal - Parent must request early dismissal for their children from the attendance office.
Extended Absences - Parent or guardian must notify the attendance office for a contract of independent study five school days in advance of a trip or extended absence. This will give students credit for missed classroom time. If a contract is not obtained, this absence will be unexcused. Your student's grade will be adversely affected. Extended trips / personal leaves are discouraged during the school year. Please avoid making appointments for your students during the school day.
