School Attendance
Regular attendance at school is of the utmost importance. For each day a child is absent, the sequence of learning is broken and planned activities are missed.
Legal absences from school may occur for the following:
- sickness
- death in the family
- impassable roads
- religious observance
- presence in court
- quarantine
- attendance at organized clinics
- remedial health treatment, and
- approved cooperative work programs.
In order for the absence to be marked “LEGAL” , the student must bring in a written excuse, stating the reason for missing school.
If your child has a communicable disease, please notify the school office immediately. Any other illness that may last more than one day should be reported to the school office.
