Attendance Letters
All schools have started sending out attendance letters to all students with 3, 6 or 9 absences within a semester. With COVID, we paused this process, but now we have re-started. These letters are not unique to Carberry Elementary; every school in our district uses them and Infinite Campus automatically generates these letters for us each week based on absences. If you have Doctor/Dentist notes please bring them in to the office and this will be considered an Exempt Excuse.
CLASSIFICATION OF ABSENCES:
Excused absences occur when a student is absent from school with the parent/guardian’s knowledge and consent.
Excused absences may include, but are not limited to: student illness, medical or dental appointments, illness of a family member, family conveniences, or pre arranged absences.
Excused absences will be counted when computing the percentage of attendance (90%) and consequent eligibility for promotion or credit is being considered.
Exempt excused absences occur when a student is absent from school to attend an appointment with professional personnel and the appointment is confirmed with documentation from the professional.
Professional appointments include medical doctors, dentists, counselors, attorneys.
Exempt excused absences will not be counted when the percentage of attendance (90%) and consequent eligibility for promotion or credit is being considered.
STUDENT ABSENCE
If your child is not going to be in school for ANY reason (illness, out of town, doctor appointment, etc.) PLEASE call the office, EVEN IF YOU'VE TOLD THE TEACHER. (208)-365-0839. If your child has a doctor or dentist appointment, please bring a note from the doctor or dentist's office or have them fax it to us at (208) 365-0871.
AUTOMATED CALLS REGARDING STUDENT ABSENCES
An automated phone call and email will be sent to parents or guardians if their child is absent for the day. The calls will go out after 10:30 AM. This automated call will only be sent to parents and guardians if you have not reported your child's absence to the school's office before 10 AM. If you receive the message, please contact the office to excuse the absence. 208-365-0839
