Attendance
A note from a parent must be presented to the Front Office the day a student returns from an absence (even if the parent already spoke to the front office or their child’s teacher on the day of the absence)
The note should state the date(s) of the absence(s) and the reason for the absence
If a note is not received within 3 days of the child returning to school, the absence will be marked unexcused
Tardies
The school’s tardy policy has been developed to emphasize the importance of each student arriving on time to school every day and remaining in the classroom for the entire period. Learning personal responsibility by arriving to school and class on time is an integral part of the school’s standard of excellence, which helps prepare students for excellence.
Tardies
Students should be inside the classroom by 8:00am. A student arriving after this time must report to the front office and obtain a tardy slip. Tardiness to school will be unexcused, unless the student arrives to campus late for one of the following reasons:
Personal illness Attendance at a required court appointment Appointment with a doctor, dentist or other
professionalFor a tardy to be excused, the student must present a
note from the parent explaining the student’s late arrival. The school may also require a written note from a doctor, dentist or other professional.
