Parents and staff can opt in if they choose. There will be no cost to families. A flu mist will be used, not injection.
DOCTOR NOTE? ATTENDANCE UPDATE
- Medical appointments now require a doctor's note for an excused absence.
- Tardies are now split out in six minutes increments, giving a better picture of our students arriving late.
Attendance is a serious matter. We need to know where your child is when they do not show up for regular school hours. Please use the attendance line 313-432-4401 to report an absence prior to 9:00 a.m.
Thank you for your cooperation.
