ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL
If a student is absent from school, parents are requested to CALL the school (763-8855) to report the absence. This number can be called 24 hrs a day. Simply follow the prompts to report the absence. This should be followed with a written excuse to the homeroom teacher. This excuse is to be brought to school the day the student returns to school. The information needed in the excuse is:
- Reason for absence.
- Date or dates of absence
- Parent's signature
If a child is to be absent from school for an extended period of time (5 or more days) and is able to do some work at home, the following procedure should be followed by the parent. Call the student's guidance counselor. The counselor can be reached by dialing 763-8870. If for any reason the counselor cannot be reached, leave a message with the secretary.
When the counselor has been contacted, give the following information.
- Student's full name.
- Student's grade.
- Approximate time the student has been out and how long you expect the child will be at home.
- What type of assignment the child is able to do.
PLEASE ALLOW THE COUNSELORS 24-HOURS TO COLLECT THE ASSIGNMENT Upon return from absence it is the student's responsibility to determine from the teachers what materials and information have been missed and to make arrangements to "make-up" lost work. Work is to be made up within a timeframe worked out between the teacher and the students. Generally, a student is given a day for each day absent to make up the work.
