Dear Parent/Guardian,
We are off to a great start in the 2024-25 school year. As we get further into the school year, we would like to remind you of the importance of good attendance for all students. Every day a student is absent is a lost opportunity for learning. Too many absences not only can affect achievement for the absent student. While occasional absences are inevitable, please prioritize regular attendance.
Missing more than 10% of the school year or 18 days of school can impact your child’s social development, academic learning, and path toward high school graduation. If a problem arises with health, food, transportation, housing, or anything else, please call your child’s school or the district office so we can assist.
If your child has 7 unexcused absences in a month or 15 unexcused absences in a year, a petition will be filed with the Juvenile Court, and intervention measures like a Community Engagement Board may be initiated. Continued truancy may require court involvement. To report an absence, contact your child’s school within 5 school days via phone, email, text, or written note.
The school will work with you and relevant healthcare providers to support learning for extended illness. We understand that there are times when students may need to miss school, even with communication from parents or caregivers. However, frequent absences can add up and affect
We have a new document that you need to fill out if you will be taking an extended vacation. Please remember to notify the office and your teacher so that we can go over this form with you. We ask that you schedule time with Mr. Shepherd or Mrs. Moe to ensure you have all of the information and work prior to leaving.
