ABSENCES AND NOTES
Before Christmas Break we wanted to offer a reminder of our school's attendance policy.
If you know your child will be absent from school, please be sure to let the office AND your child's teachers know ahead of time. Any students absent for college visits or family matters will need to turn in missed assignments upon return. It is the student's responsibility to make arrangements with his or her teachers ahead of time for missed work.
If your child is sick, please check Netclassroom for assignments. If you have questions about the assignments, please contact the teacher(s) via email. All email addresses are posted on the right side of this blog page.
In all cases, a note from a parent, and/or a doctor's note in the case of illness or an appointment, is required to excuse an absence. Keep in mind that a note DOES NOT automatically excuse the absence. Parent notes MUST include the reason for the absence in order to determine whether the absence is excused or unexcused. Only notes submitted within 2 weeks of the absence will be accepted.
