More than 6 unexcused days: Parents will be getting a call from the attendance clerk to try and get excuses to help clear some of the dates. 
More than 10 unexcused days: Parent will get a call from grade level asst principal to be put on an attendance contract. Let’s try and stay off this list.

If you pick up a student early for a doctor appointment the student is still marked absent for any period, the student is not attending. So please have the student return the next day with the Dr. excuse to clear the periods the student missed.

If your student leaves early and has an afterschool event to attend, they need to be back in school by 2:30pm with the Dr. excuse to be able to attend the event.
For any questions feel free to call or email out Attendance Clerk.
