1. All absences must be verified by a written excuse from parent or doctor. Without a written excuse your child's absence will be listed as unexcused. Parents are allotted six written excuses for absences. After you have written six excuses all other parent notes are "parent note unexcused". 2. Excused absences include the following: illness/injury verified by a medical excuse; death in the immediate family (limited to three days per death); legal or religious obligation; failure of bus to run (note from bus driver or parent required); or approved school activities. 3. After acquiring five unexcused absences, you will be notified in writing from the school. After ten or more unexcused absences you will receive a legal notice from the Board of possible consequences. 4. Upon the fifteenth unexcused absence, a petition may be filed with the Circuit Court against the parent or guardian for neglect. 5. Habitual tardiness and early departures will be considered an attendance problem. 6. Missing more than one hour of instructional time is considered ½ day absence. 7. A student accompanied by a parent or guardian must report to the office when arriving late.
The school day ends at 3:00 p.m. Please try to schedule appointments after 3:00 so that your child does not miss valuable instructional time.
