An accounting of each student's attendance is kept in the teacher's class register. The student's attendance will be checked formally at the opening of each school day, and informally after lunch. Any student wishing to leave early on a regular school day should present a note from parents to the teacher, requesting early dismissal. The parent must complete a sign out register located in the Main Office before a student can be taken from school during the day.
We request that parents please try to schedule medical appointments at times other than during school hours. When a child is tardy or has an early dismissal, he/she is missing an important part of his/her educational program. Students who are dismissed from school for a half-day are missing out on valuable class work. The clinics are cooperative about scheduling routine appointments after school hours.
Family trips are often invaluable to a child's development, but loss of school time should be taken into consideration before making plans. Prior to departing on an extended trip, parents should notify the classroom teacher. It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure their child completes all make-up work or assignments, if required by a teacher. School textbooks should not be taken on trips. Other assignments may be made. |
