Being absent can result in your child missing important lessons,
however I do realize that illness can cause your child to miss
school. Please send in a doctor’s note explaining why your child
was not in school so that they can receive an excused absence. If
your child is absent, he/she is responsible for making up
missed work. Make-up work must be completed in a timely
fashion; otherwise it will become a zero.
Make up work will not be provided in
advance if there is a planned absence.
There are many activities (field trips,
etc.) that students will not be able to
participate in if attendance and tardiness
is an issue for your child.
