The Board of Education recognizes that regular classroom attendance is essential to the total learning process and that classroom interaction between teacher and students and among other students themselves is an integral component to the learning process. Student Absences 328-5437 Board of Education Policy recognizes several reasons for excused student absences. Any other absence is considered unexcused. It is the parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to notify the school office on the morning of an absence by calling 328-5437. It is essential that parents/guardians provide a written excuse for each absence. Such excuse should contain the reason for and date of absence. Please note that parental excuses can only be accepted if received within five days of your child’s return to school. Please consult District Policy 5100, which is posted to our website, for additional information on attendance and absences. School Closings & Delays November WILLA LARSON, PS16 (GRADE 2) When winter conditions or other emergencies cause delays or closings, announcements are posted on the District website, and local television stations.
