Absence Information
We know your child may get sick or have other emergency, personal business, but please be sure your child is in school ready to learn every possible day. We need to work together to give your child the best possible education. Please let the office know if your child is absent. You can also let the teacher know, but call the office as well. Our school goal is for students to have no more than 9 absences in a year. When your child reaches truancy level, the school may need to look into other agencies that be able to help. Thank you for your support!
