• three unexcused absences and/or

• three tardies and/or

• three absences of more than 30 minutes

​You'll need to contact school office within two days of your child's return to school or the absences will be recorded as unexcused.​

When attending a medical or dental appointment during the school day, please bring a note from the doctor to the attendance office.

After 3 consecutive days of illness a doctor's note will be required.
