Important Information About Student Attendance/Vacation Policy Changes
Regular school attendance is one of the most important factors in your child's academic success. When students attend school consistently, they benefit from:
Continuous learning that builds upon previous lessons and concepts
Classroom discussions and activities that cannot be replicated at home
Social connections with peers and teachers that support overall development
Established routines that help create structure and stability
Opportunities to participate in collaborative projects and group learning
We understand that occasional absences are unavoidable, and we want to work with you to ensure clear communication about your child's attendance.
Attendance Procedures
When Your Child is Going to be Absent
Please call the school office as early as possible on the day of absence (attendance line is open 24/7)
If you're unable to speak with someone directly, you may leave a voicemail message stating the reason for your child's absence
Important: If we don't hear from you, we will contact you to confirm the absence and ensure your child's safety
Reporting Process:
Provide your child's full name, teacher/grade, and reason for absence (please include major symptoms with illnesses)
Contact information: School phone number - 331-228-6900
Office hours: 7:30-4:00
UPDATED INFORMATION ABOUT VACATION DAYS
We want to inform you of an important change to our attendance procedures. The District has recently updated Section 2.20 of the Student Handbook regarding student absences.
NEW VACATION POLICY:
The pre-arranged absence form and procedure are no longer in use
Vacations during school days are discouraged and will be considered unexcused absences
This change aligns with our commitment to maximizing instructional time for all students
We recognize that families sometimes need flexibility for travel or special circumstances. While we strongly encourage scheduling family trips during school breaks and holidays, we understand that this isn't always possible. We ask for your partnership in minimizing absences during the school year whenever feasible.
Working Together
Our goal is to support your child's educational journey while maintaining clear attendance expectations. If you have questions about attendance policies or need to discuss specific circumstances, please don't hesitate to contact the school office. We're here to work with you to ensure your child's success. Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education.
Health Office Contact Information
Any concerns or paperwork that needs to be turned into the Health Office can be sent to this updated email address: cor-nurses@d303.org
District Support for Families
In D303, we value the opportunity to provide a community of care and support to our families, particularly those facing financial hardship. If your family is currently experiencing a significant financial need, our community partnerships offer several supports for families, including school clothes/shoes, winter coats/accessories, school supplies, toiletries, holiday meals, and/or holiday gifts. If you would like to be considered for any of these supports, please complete the Family Resource Form by September 12, 2025.
En D303, valoramos la oportunidad de proveer una comunidad de cuidado y apoyo a nuestras familias, especialmente a aquellas que enfrentan dificultades financieras. Si su familia está experimentando actualmente una necesidad financiera significativa, nuestras asociaciones comunitarias tienen varios apoyos disponibles para las familias, incluyendo: ropa/calzado para la escuela, abrigos/accesorios de invierno, materiales escolares, artículos de aseo personal, comidas para los días festivos, y/o regalos para navidad. Si desea que se le tenga en cuenta para cualquiera de estas ayudas, por favor, rellene este formulario.
