As we go through the winter months, which bring about different illnesses, we want to remind everyone of making sure excuses (parent and/or medical are turned in each time your child(ren) are absent from school.
Medical excuses can be turned in at any time during the school year. Parent notes must be turned in within three days of return to school. Parent notes can be turned in through notes, emails, Parent Square, and Sapphire.
We are aware that there will be times during the year in which students get sick and miss school. Please remember that after ten total absences, a medical excuse is required.
If a child exceeds three unexcused absences, an attendance meeting will be set up to come up with a plan. If students exceed five unexcused absences, we will meet with the magistrate.
According to the state, students must be in school at least 90% of the days to be in good standing attendance-wise. This means students must miss fewer than 18 total days of school.
As stated, sicknesses happen, but we want our students to have the opportunities to be as successful as possible by being in school!
