Tardy
If your child arrives:
Between 8:25am and 8:30am, your child should report directly to the classroom, and the teacher will note the tardy arrival.
After 8:30am, your child must report to the office for a pink tardy slip before going to class. If your child is going to be later than 8:30am, a call to the Attendance Line is required (see above).
Absent
If you know in advance that your child will be absent, please send a note to child’s teacher and the office. Without this, absences must be called in daily.
Extended Absences
Sick Absences for 5 or more consecutive days: If your child is out sick for 5 or more consecutive days, we require a doctors note upon their return to school in order to count the absences as excused.
Travel Absences: Absences due to travel are considered unexcused. Please note that we do not offer independent study options for students traveling.
Extended Unexcused Absences: Students with more than 10 consecutive days of unexcused absences may be unenrolled and will need to re-enroll upon their return. Placement in the same school or classroom cannot be guaranteed when re-enrolling.
Sick Days
Sick Day Procedure
