PROCEDURE TO REPORT A STUDENT ABSENCE– A parent/guardian is to call the school to report a school absence ON THE DAY OF THE ABSENCE. You may leave a VOICEMAIL message at 317-887-4707. Press 1, and answer the questions, pressing the # button after each response. Voicemail is available 24 hours a day to report an absence. Calls prior to 8:00 a.m. are encouraged and appreciated. If a call has not been received by 10:00 a.m. the day of each absence, a School Messenger reminder notification will be delivered by telephone. A call is needed EACH DAY a student is absent. Your child should remain home if they have diarrhea, vomiting or an elevated temperature of 100 or above. Students may return to school once they have been diarrhea free, vomiting free, or fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications.
