Absences

We ask the cooperation and understanding of all families in sending their children to school regularly and on time!  Irregular attendance results in a considerable educational loss.

District policy requires that parents call the school attendance line when a child is going to be absent from school.

If your child is riding the bus home with another child, please send in a written note for the teacher AND for the bus driver. 

Contemplated Absence Process

When possible, family trips should be planned so that they do not interfere with a student’s school attendance and education. If this cannot be arranged and students must be absent from school for the purpose of a family trip, a student will only be excused for a maximum of ten (10) days per school year. According to State Statue 118.15 and District Policy 431, a student may be excused for no more than 10 days of pre-planned absences per school year.
