Attendance Info
Excused Absences: Absence due to personal illness or injury will be considered excused; however, after the 3rd consecutive day of absence within the 9 weeks, medical verification is required. In the event that the illness did not require treatment by a doctor, a parent/guardian conference, to justify the absence(s) as a legitimate illness, will be required. Parent excuses for absences must be submitted within 48 hours of the absence. Parents may notify school personnel of excused absences via written note, phone call, email, or PowerSchool.
