ATTENDANCE
How do students do well in school? They go every day! Students may miss school for illness, emergencies, or for religious reasons, but we want to see every student in school every day. Did you know that a student with 90% attendance has missed one month of school by the end of the year? Students with less than 90% attendance are more likely to have lower test scores and not graduate from high school. 
​
Click here to see what documentation is accepted and can be noted as excused ​on your child’s attendance record. Please also know that an excused absence does not reduce or delete the number of days your child is out of school.

COVID ATTENDANCE POLICIES

- Students who test positive for Covid are required to isolate for 5 days and will be marked present if they participate remotely. 
- Students who are isolating due to an outside exposure are expected to attend school if they are fully vaccinated. If your child is not fully unvaccinated or you choose to keep them home, your child will be marked absent.

Please fill out the form below if your child is going to be absent​
