ABSENCE PROCEDURE
If your child is absent from school due to illness or other reasons, you must notify our attendance line at
(810) 676-1826 (24 hour hotline) by 9:30 a.m. All absences must be called in with the reason for the absence.
Absences are verified by the office each morning.
EARLY DISMISSAL PROCEDURE
Parents will be notified in advance if any early dismissal is scheduled. If early dismissal is required due to weather conditions or emergency situations, every effort will be made to notify parents. Please keep emergency phone numbers on your child’s emergency card current.
Please note that there will be no early dismissals after times listed below.
This allows for a smooth and orderly dismissal for all classes:
Full day – 3:15, Half Day – 11:45
It is increasingly difficult for the safety of all students if this policy is not followed.

A latchkey program is available at St. Clair River Elementary for parents who require supervision for their children before and after school. Latchkey hours are 6:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Latchkey is also available on half days & PLC days. For additional information, please call Susan at (810) 676-1115.
It is extremely important that the Emergency Card be updated for each child and returned to the office.
