ATTENDANCE

* Absence: Regular attendance at school provides children with the best chance for success and law requires it. Students should bring a note explaining their absence each time they miss school. Teachers will call home after three consecutive absences. Excessive absences (10 or more) will be referred to the office. If a student is ill and must be absent from school for an extended period, the parent is encouraged to contact the teacher who will work cooperatively with you in outlining activities and assignments for your child.

* Tardiness: Students are expected to be at school on time. Tardiness is counter productive to all parties concerned.

* Withdrawal/Transfer: If you are moving and need to withdraw your child(ren) from school please contact the office. We will fill out the transfer papers while you check out with teachers, the media center and lunchroom. Please note that most schools require a transfer form when registering midyear.

* Student Check Out: Students should not leave the school grounds from the time school begins in the morning until it ends in the afternoon unless they are going home for lunch (requires a permission note) or are being checked out by a parent. Parents taking students form school during the day must sign the check out log in the office before taking the child.
