Attendance
ATTENDANCE AND ILLNESS
All children are expected to be in attendance each day unless they are ill or a family emergency arises. Family vacations and excursions should be planned on non—school days. When your children are not in school, not only do they lose valuable instructional time, but the school loses money, which is used to purchase much needed instructional materials. Please remember that a written note explaining the absence is required alter a student has been absent. Because of the great value we place on attendance, we will be acknowledging students and providing special incentives not only for perfect attendance each month, but for perfect attendance for each of the reporting periods and for the entire year.
We realize that there may be an instance when your child is tardy. However, when this is a regular occurrence it is extremely harmful to your child and to the class in general. If a child arrives in class late, it can upset his/her entire day. The opening directions for the day are missed and your child starts the day behind and may have to rush to complete assignments. It is important for even the youngest students to begin to accept responsibility for their education and being in school on time each and every day is a positive first step. Please avoid tardiness.
Tardiness interrupts your child’s instructional time.
