Lower School Attendance The spirit of the Lower School's attendance policy is to promote the notion that every day at school, regardless of grade level, is a critical part of a student’s education and that what transpires in the classroom cannot be duplicated or captured simply by reading and completing an assignment or reviewing materials. It is therefore strongly encouraged that all students are punctual to school and attend every class every day. The school realizes that on occasion, extraordinary circumstances arise and it becomes necessary for a student to miss a class or even a day of school. Parents can support both the student and the school by doing the following: • Giving thoughtful consideration as to whether one’s child needs to miss school, and • Initiating prompt communication with school personnel as to the time and date of the student’s absence.
Reporting an Absence or Tardy When a student is absent due to illness, or is running late for any reason, parents must contact the Lower School by emailing LS_Attendance@webbschool.org before 8:45 a.m. on the day of the absence. The reason for the absence/tardy should be included in the communication.
