Absence During the School Day

Absence During the School Day

Students with medical appointments during school hours require a written note by the parent.  Medical appointments are considered absences unless the child brings a release from the medical office authenticating the appointment upon return to school.  Parents are required to sign out their child.  If the child returns to school during the same school day, he/she must check in at the school office upon return. Students who are away from school for an appointment for 3½ hours or more will be counted as absent for ½ a day. 

 

If a student does not attend school or arrive by 10:00 a.m. (for half days) and 11:00 a.m. (for full days) on the day of a performance, after school sports game, or activity, the student is ineligible to participate in either activity or attend Extended Day Care.
