Attendance Policies

Elementary attendance will be monitored from 8:10 a.m. until 3:10 p.m. Students are expected to attend school daily and arrive on time.
Students will be counted tardy AM if they arrive between 8:10 and 8:45.
Students will be counted tardy PM if they leave between 2:15 and 3:10.

Any absence less than 3 hours will be counted as a 1/2 day absence

*Exception: parent takes student for lunch 30 min. or less

Any absence over 3 hours will be counted as a full day absence

*Please note 10 tardies is equivalent to 1 unexcused absence

When a student has reached 7 absences during the school year, the parents will be sent a reminder letter. After 10 absences, documentation will be required for all future absences. It is required for each subsequent absence/tardy for illness and appointments the student brings a doctor’s note documenting the reason for the absence.

For more information on attendance policies, please reference the student handbook.

Absence Reporting

Parents or legal guardians are expected to call the building’s attendance line to report daily absences, late arrivals, or early dismissals. If a call is not received, school personnel will attempt to contact the parent. If no contact is made within 48 hours, the absence will be counted as unexcused.

The attendance line is available to leave messages 24/7. 

Attendance line: 913-993-4488.
