Frequently Asked Questions:

What do I do when my child is absent from school?

Send a signed note with your child to the school as soon as he/she returns. All absences must be verified in writing by a parent/guardian. All notes must be received within five days of the absence.

All notes should include the student’s full name, date(s) of the absence(s), reason for the absence, parent/guardian signature and contact information, and current date.

What about when my student has an early dismissal?

Checking your child out of school before the end of the school day counts as “leaving early” and counts toward the ten unexcused absences for truancy. A medical note will excuse these absences.
