Absences
& Attendance
If your child is absent from school
(K-12), it is important for the parent/legal guardian to
call your child’s school on the day of the absence. Please
send in a written note when your child returns to school and
hand in to the health/attendance office. If your child is
absent for more than a few days, the school nurse may
request a written note from your child’s doctor.
Legal reasons for an absence from school include sickness,
health treatments, death in the family, religious observance
or a court appearance. Upon returning to school, or when
asking for early dismissal, all students (K-12) must have a
note of explanation signed and dated by a parent or
guardian.
when
to keep your child home from school
Children should be kept home if they show
signs of a cold, parasitic or other infection. After a
fever,
a child should not return to school until the temperature
has been normal for at least 24 hours.
Please call the school nurse and inform her of your child's
illness.
