Attendance
Did you Know?
- It’s important to communicate with your student’s school when they’re going to be absent. Inform the school about barriers to attendance and we will do our best to work with you and your student.
- Missing less than nine days of school each year helps students to stay engaged, experience success in their schoolwork and keep on track to graduate on time.
- Attending school regularly beginning in Preschool and Kindergarten will help students to:
- Gain early reading and math skills
- Build relationships
- Develop good attendance habits throughout your student’s school career
Frequent absences can be a sign that a student is losing interest in school, struggling with schoolwork, school anxiety, struggling with a peer, or facing some other difficulty. Reach out to your student's teacher, attendance lead, school counselor or social worker for support.
The Law
Once enrolled in a public school, a child 5-17 years old must attend school every day, every class, on time, unless lawfully excused.
It's important to contact the office if your child will not be in school.
When leaving a message, make sure to include your child's name, grade, & reason for the absence.
Tardy
An elementary school student who is not in his/her designated area at the designated time is TARDY. Students arriving after 7:30AM are considered tardy and will need to check into the office for a late pass to class.
