Attendance

Please make every effort to get your student to school on time. Tardiness disrupts not only the learning of your student but also the learning of the other students in the classroom. Teachers often have to repeat instruction to catch up students who are late.

Please call the attendance line or the office if your student is going to be absent for any
reason. It is the family’s responsibility to inform the school of any absences. When absences aren’t called in, students are automatically marked as unexcused.

The importance of regular, daily school attendance as a basis for academic achievement cannot be overemphasized. Attendance is a shared responsibility of the student, the families and the school.

It is the family’s responsibility to ensure their student attends school and to notify the school when their student is absent for a legitimate reason, such as an illness or family emergency. Each family should also ensure their student’s school has their correct contact information so that the school is able to communicate about any attendance issues that may arise.
