PUPIL ABSENCE
The Board of Education believes that regular attendance at school is necessary for a child to maintain his or her academic program in good standing. On the basis of this belief, the Board supports the Superintendent in all reasonable efforts to ensure that children attend school regularly when they are physically and mentally capable of doing so.
IN THE CASE OF AN ABSENCE, THE PARENT/GUARDIAN MUST CALL THE ATTENDANCE LINE AT THE BUILDING THE CHILD ATTENDS AND REPORT THE ABSENCE TO THE HEALTH OFFICE. THIS SHOULD BE DONE AS FAR IN ADVANCE AS POSSIBLE, OR NO LATER THAN 9:00 AM ON THE DAY OF ABSENCE.
IMPORTANT: In the case of any absence, the parent/guardian must send in a note explaining the reason for the absence.
