ABSENCES: When your child is absent from school, write a note explaining the reason for his ab sence on the day of his return. If the absence is for five (5) days or more, a doctor's statement, in addition to the parent's note, is required.
Whenever possible, on the first day of your child's absence, a phone call to the school health room (595-5424) will be greatly appreciated. This is one of the ways the school and home can be sure that your child is safe and that attendance does not become a problem. Please specify the reason for your child's absence.
As much as possible, vacations and trips should be scheduled during non-school days.
TARDIES: Students reporting to school after the 8:05 a.m. tardy bell should obtain a tardv slip from the office before proceeding to class. An excused tardy means that the student has a legitimate rea son. An unexcused tardy means that the student does not have a legitimate reason.
