Absences

If your child is going to be absent, please call the school office before 8:30 A.M. A written note or email  to the teacher (not a phone call) from a parent is required the first day a student returns following the absence.

The student is allowed one day to make up work for each day of school absence. A student absent due to illness is not allowed to participate in any after school activities that day. It is the responsibility of the student and/or parent to pick up missed work and/or assignments to be done during the absence. In the case of an absence due to illness, the student must be well enough to participate fully in school upon his return. In the case of a fever, the student must hold a normal temperature for 24 hours before returning to school. 

An accumulation of twenty or more absences during the school year will place a student’s promotion to the next grade level in jeopardy.

Absences - Prearranged

If you know your child will be absent for such things as dental appointments or family travel, please notify your child's homeroom teacher a week in advance with a note.  All pre-assigned work is due upon the student's return.
