Regular attendance is one of the strongest predictors of academic success.

In an effort to ensure students are in class to receive valuable learning, some of our attendance procedures have been updated in alliance with state guidelines. Notifications of student absences will be sent to families using the parent/guardian email address on file.

Read our Family Letter Regarding Truancy

We understand that there may be times when your child is genuinely ill or has a valid reason for missing school. In such cases, please notify the school promptly and provide any necessary documentation. 

• Parents may submit up to 5 parent-written excuses per semester to be considered excused absences.
   

• A doctor's note is considered as an excused absence, but must be submitted within seven (7) days following the visit to the doctor.

A student with 5 UNEXCUSED absences is considered truant and is placed on the school's Truancy list. This means the student did not submit a parent note or a doctor's note for the absences. Once a student is on the Truancy list, they cannot be removed for the semester unless they submit their excuses.

Truancy ― A student is considered truant once he or she receives five unexcused absences or five unexcused tardies in a semester.

Chronic Absenteeism ― When a student is enrolled for at least 10 days and is absent 10% or more of days enrolled. This incorporates all absences: excused, unexcused, suspensions, and expulsions.
