ATTENDANCE

Regular and punctual attendance at school is the primary responsibility of the student and parent. Late arrivals, medical and/or dental appointments during the day, and early releases create situations in which students miss out on core curriculum as well as classes in each department. In order to benefit fully from the school program, each student should be at school for the full day and should be absent only when necessary. Parents are encouraged to schedule family vacations during school vacation periods.

While attendance is very important, the school discourages children who are not well from coming to school. Please do not send your child to school with an elevated temperature or showing signs of illness. Your child must be free of fever for at least 24 hours before returning to school.

Absences Absences are recorded daily. If a child will be absent, we ask parents or guardians to please call the school before 9:00 am to report an absence. In the event that an absence is anticipated, parents should notify their child’s teacher
