REMINDER on student attendance

Please be sure to call/email the school to let them know if your child will be away. Students are automatically marked as absent if we do not receive a call. Our system differentiates between absences. If your student is ill or under the weather, please let us know so we can mark them as such, INSTEAD of absent. Likewise, if they will be attending an appointment or will otherwise be missing school, we can mark them as "parent call". Absence reports matter and differentiating between the TYPE of absence makes a difference.


For safety reasons, if your child is leaving the school for ANY reason, a phone call/email to the office is REQUIRED.
