Regular attendance at school is of the utmost importance. For each day a child is absent, the sequence of learning is broken and planned activities are missed.

Legal absences from school may occur for the following:

• sickness
• death in the family
• impassable roads
• religious observance
• presence in court
• quarantine
• attendance at organized clinics
• remedial health treatment, and
• approved cooperative work programs.

In order for the absence to be marked “LEGAL” , the student must bring in a written excuse, stating the reason for missing school.

If your child has a communicable disease, please notify the school office immediately. Any other illness that may last more than one day should be reported to the school office.
