What if a student will be absent all day?

Parents are expected to call the attendance office by 9 a.m. on the day of an absence.  This ensures the school knows the student is safe and accounted for.  When the student returns to school, he or she will need a note from a parent or guardian to document the absence.

What if a student has an appointment and needs to leave school?

The parent or guardian should send a written, signed note to the attendance office before the start of school on the day of the appointment.  The student will be given a permission form to be released from class.  The student will sign out in the attendance office, indicating the time he or she is leaving the building.  If a student comes back the same day, he or she should sign back in at the attendance office.

Parents can pick their student up and drop them off at the sidewalk leading to the attendance/athletic office, located in the rear of the school building across from the athletic complex ticket booth.
