ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES
Hello Families,
We are proud to announce that we have an overall 98% attendance rate at OLS. As we reflect on our data, we are noticing that some parents are not calling to report the reason for the absence.
Daily attendance and punctuality contribute to improving success in school. These are habits that are learned and will be needed throughout life. Parents must require students to attend school daily and are expected to be on time, except when illness or family emergencies interfere.
Students are required by law to attend school. In the event of illness, parents are expected to call the school before the start of the school day to report the absence.
To ensure accuracy, parents are requested to provide the following information: student’s name, parent’s/guardian’s name, grade level, date or dates of absence, and reason for absence. Parents/guardians must call the school before the start of the school day to report absences.
