Attendance and Excuse Notes Reminder

Posted Date: 02/06/26 (02:22 PM)


Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we enter a season when illnesses are more common, please remember our district attendance policy:
A written note explaining the reason for a student’s absence is required upon the student’s return to school and must be submitted to the front office within five school days of the absence to receive an excused absence. If a written note is not received within five school days, the absence will remain unexcused. The school will accept a parent note for an excused absence for up to three days in a quarter unless there are extenuating circumstances. Absences beyond three days in a quarter will require a doctor’s note or prior administrative approval, depending on the circumstances.
We appreciate your attention to this policy and your cooperation in helping us maintain accurate attendance records. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us.
