Student Absences
When your child is absent, there is no need to call the school. Please make sure you send a note with your student when he/she returns to school. Please find the link below to submit absence notes electronically.

It is very important to submit a note or send a note for your student.
Also, when your child is absent, calls are made district-wide to let parents/guardians know. If you know that your child is home, you do not need to call the school. It is a courtesy call for families and mainly is applicable to older students, but is a district-wide system.

Hope that you enjoyed reading a great book or two over break!
