Attendance Info
What to do if someone is testing for COVID
If someone in your household is testing for COVID, please let the school know. The district policy is to keep all your school-aged children from all the PLC schools home until the test results come back. We ask this in case the results come back positive.
Once you receive your results, please send me a copy. We need a copy before your student returns to school. You may email a copy to brenda.jung@plcschools.org or fax a copy to 402-898-0415, whichever is easier for you.
Thank you for helping us keep all our students safe!
Normal Attendance Procedures
If your student will be absent or arriving late, please contact Brenda Jung in the attendance office before 9:00 am. Written notes are not accepted.
Call or email 402-898-0413 or brenda.jung@plcschools.org
State your name, the student's name, grade, date of absence, and reason for absence.
A message may be left if the line is busy or if it is before or after school hours. Messages are checked frequently.
For appointments, please try to call at least 30 minutes before your student needs to leave school. Do not come in; your student will meet you outside.
For medical appointments, please have your student bring a doctor's note to the attendance office.
If you know of an upcoming absence, you may call or email in advance; you do not need to wait until the day of the absence to notify the attendance office.
Parents may check attendance records anytime by using the district app.
Thanks for your help!
