CAR LINE

at least one week in advance. In some cases, advance work can be provided. If the absence is unanticipated and excused, the student shall secure the assignments from teacher/s and arrange for make-up work upon returning to school.

To report an absence, please call the main school line 816-436-6228, email absent@oakhilldayschool.org, or submit the absence through the HUB with the “report and absence” form.

If a student is absent and the school has not received any notification, the school nurse may call families to check in and make sure the student is okay.

If a student’s absences become excessive, the Head of School/Division Directors will confer with the parents and the student, as well as with the student’s teacher or advisor, to implement a plan to improve attendance. Students miss educational opportunities when they are not in class to participate.

Homework Policy for Absences – Intermediate/Middle School/Upper School If a student has a short term (four or fewer days) absence, they may have the number of days they were absent to make up the work. Upon returning to school, students are expected to visit with each of their teachers to determine what they have missed.

If a student knows in advance of an absence, the student should let the teachers know ahead of time. Notification of absence does not guarantee assignments will be available prior to absence. For a long-term absence due to illness or injury, the team under the leadership of the teacher or advisor will create a homework plan for the student that may include a distance learning platform.

CAR LINE

Faculty and staff provide car line services at both campuses for morning and afternoon car line. Car line must be both efficient and effective. To that end we ask that you please adhere to the following: ● With multiple car lines occurring at the same time between our campuses; use caution and be aware of those around you. ● Follow designated car line routes and avoid entering from another direction. Other drivers view this as “cutting in line” . ● We have limited parking spaces available in front of the school, so be cognizant of those that are in line when you are backing out of the parking spaces. ● Please refrain from using your cell phone while picking up students. ● Respect the reserved parking signs and handicapped spaces regardless of time of day. ● Remain in your car during the car line. Faculty and staff will open the car door and shut the car door. ● Students should be ready to go with all their belongings gathered and ready to get out of the car when the door is opened for them.

MAIN CAMPUS CAR LINE

Faculty and staff provide car line services at the North, Main, and Circle Drive doors.
