ATTENTION PARENTS: ATTENDANCE POLICY UPDATES
This information concerns attendance for illnesses and family vacations.
*** When your child is out for illness, please contact the office or your child’s teacher and inform us of the absence. Your child will have the number of days missed, plus one, to get missed assignments submitted to the teacher.
*** When planning a vacation during school, please follow the outlined plan.
*Request approval two weeks prior to the vacation dates.
*Work with your child’s teacher to make arrangements for missed assignments and tests. Not everything will be able to be placed on the iPad.
