Absence&TardyReminders

When a student returns to school following an absence, the student must bring his/her teacher a signed note stating the date(s) of the absence and explaining its reason. The teacher will then send the note to the office to be recorded. If you feel your child is not being responsible with turning in their notes then the parent may want to bring

the note directly to the office as a last resort. Notes must be provided within 5 school days

following the absence in order to be classified as “excused”.

If your child is late to school, please walk into

the school office to sign him/her in.

FoodDrive
