Absences – Parents must call/notify the school.
Doctor’s appointments, early dismissal – Parents must request your early dismissal by phone call or note from the Attendance Office—not the child's teacher. Any student leaving campus early without a blue release slip is considered a truant.
Extended Absences/Contracts – Parent or guardian must notify the Attendance Office (not the teacher) for a Contract of Independent Study five school days in advance. This will give the student credit for missed classroom time if assigned work is completed. If a contract is not obtained, this absence will be unexcused. Your grade may be lowered. Classroom participation is required. Extended trips/personal leaves are discouraged during the school year.
