Attendance Policy
-
-
Students should attend a full day of school each day unless they have a valid excuse. Parents/guardians should prioritize attendance and make every effort to have appointments scheduled outside of school hours. If a student is absent, parents/guardians should notify the school by 9:00AM. If an absence is anticipated in advance, let the school know as early as possible.
