Attendance

  • Reporting Student Absences

    • If a student is going to miss any portion of the school day, a parent or guardian must call the school to report the absence before 10:00 a.m. on the day of the absence. When leaving a message on the Attendance Voicemail system, state the student's name, I.D. number, date of absence, reason for the absence, and the name of the parent/guardian calling with a daytime phone number where the parent/guardian can be reached.
    • If a student is going to arrive late, a parent/guardian must notify the school by leaving a message on the absence line.
    • If a student is going to report to school on time but leave early, the parent/guardian must call to request a Home Pass. This will allow the student to leave the building before the official end of the school day.
    • Unreported absences are considered "unexcused" absences. Students with unexcused absences will be assigned to a parent conference.

    When leaving a message on the Attendance Voicemail system, clearly and slowly state:

    • The student's name
    • I.D. number
    • Date of absence
    • Reason for the absence
    • Name of the parent/guardian calling along with a daytime phone number where the parent/guardian can be reached.
