Within five days of the student’s return to school following an absence, the parent should provide his/her child with a written excuse containing the student’s full given name, grade level, the reason for the absence, the exact date of the absence(s) and the parent’s signature.
Excused Absences Include:
Sickness/Death in Family
Scheduled Appointments with Physicians, Health Clinics, and/or Agencies
Religious Observance
* The written excuse should be given to the classroom teacher. The classroom teacher will then give it to the office where it will be put into the attendance records of the student by the secretary of the school.
