Every Student – Every Day!

We want your child with us every day and on-time to give us the opportunity to help them learn and achieve at high levels.
 
 
  • By law 10 is 10 - Students are allowed 10 excused absences (all or part of a day) per school year.
  • Please notify the office prior to or by 8:55 AM regarding any absence.
  • To avoid unexcused absences, please be sure to bring a note from any professional appointments for it to be considered excused.
  • Attendance will be taken 4 times per day based on the periods as listed below.
 
 
Period 1 8:55 – 10:40

Period 4 2:10 – 3:30
 
 
 
  • If your child is absent more than 5 minutes from ANY period, they will be marked absent for that period.
  • Early departures are also counted as absences.  You will need to work with the building principal in advance for any absences after 10 excused absences.
  • After 5 unexcused absences (all or part of a day), we will invite you to meet with us to help develop a plan to improve your child’s attendance.
