This page has been created to give you access to those announcements or information that does not change, but takes up a lot of space in our newsletter.
We will continue to update over the course of the school year.

Calling Students In Absent for School
To call your child in for school, please dial 920-303-2300 and press 1 for the attendance line. Please leave a message with your name, your child's name and reason for absence. If the absence is illness related, please note any symptoms in your message.
Reminder: students who are in extra curricular activities, ***Students must be in attendance for the entire school day in order to practice or compete in an event.*** Special circumstances may merit exception with prior approval from the Principal/Dean of Students, or designee. To see if the absence can be approved:
- Step 1 - Parent/Guardian notification to office (Mrs. Prado, Mrs. Stadler or Mrs. Dobberstein) at least 24 hours prior to absence)
- Step 2 - If absence is approved, Student picks up signed Excused Slip from office
- Step 3 - Student gives signed Excused Slip to coach/advisor to participate the day of the absence
Students are allowed 10 occurrences per school year. Medical and dental appointments can be considered a "no count" absence with a doctor's note provided and will not count toward the student's 10 days. Driving lessons, however, DO count as an occurrence as it is not something offered by the school district. If you have any questions regarding what does and does not count toward your child's days, please feel free to contact their school office for more information!
If an absence is deemed unexcused it will result in ineligibility for participation in extracurricular activities until the next full day of attendance.
REMINDER ABOUT CHROMEBOOKS!!
REMINDER ABOUT CHROMEBOOKS!!
Students need to remember to charge their chrome books AT HOME and bring them back to school the next day. We only have loaner chromebooks for those who need their chrome books serviced in some way. So again, make sure chargers go home and that students are charging their chrome books at HOME so they are ready for the next day!
