Attendance - Electronic Excuse Notes
Bereavement Leave
Per the Board Policies, death in the immediate family constitutes a reasonable cause for absence from school and immediate family is defined as: parent/guardian, spouse, sibling, grandparent, child, aunt, uncle or cousin
When a student or parent notifies the school that there will be days missed (or have been missed) due to the death of someone in their immediate family, these days will be excused. If the parent/guardian is notifying the school after the fact, he or she has 3 days from the date of the student's return to submit their note.
These excused days will go toward his/her total number of days absent. Once any student reaches ten absences (excused or unexcused), any future absences will require a doctor's note. If a doctor's note is not submitted they will be recorded as AU/AUC and may result in truancy referrals.
If you have any questions regarding attendance policies or procedures, please feel free to contact our K-6 Social Worker for the Pottsgrove School District, Mrs. Manzon - mmanzon@pgsd.org

Dismissal Procedures
- Please notify the main office of any changes in your child's dismissal arrangements by 1:00 pm. It is important not to rely on email or Class Dojo to request transportation changes because we are unable to guarantee that teachers and office staff will receive the message before dismissal. We understand that emergencies may arise and we will work with families in those circumstances.
- As a reminder, students must ride the same bus to school and the same bus from school daily.
- Please make sure to bring ID anytime you are picking up your child from school.
