Attendance is taken every morning at 8:00 a.m.  If a student is sick and will be absent from school, the parent/guardian MUST notify the school between

7:45 a.m. and 8:15 a.m.  At this time, please notify the school secretary of any homework that the absent child may need.  The homework will be ready for pick up at 2:30 p.m.  Students who are absent more than 10 days in any one trimester must produce a doctor's certificate for all days in excess of ten.  It is MOST IMPORTANT for the students to begin the school day ON TIME.  A record of attendance/tardiness is kept and recorded on report cards and permanent records.

Parents/guardians are expected to honor the school calendar when scheduling medical appointments and planning family vacation trips.  If a child is absent for any reason other than illness, the parent is expected to make sure the child learns and makes up the  class work after the child returns to school.  No schoolwork will be given ahead of time.  Homework or class work will not be faxed.
