State law requires students to attend classes regularly and to be punctual. A call or note from the parent is required whenever a child is absent. The attendance record becomes a part of the student's permanent file. Reasons for an excused absence are: illness, emergency, pre-arranged personal/family need. To ensure student safety, parents are asked to call in when their child is absent from class. Please call our attendance secretary, Dawn Grant by dialing 604-4032.  When you hear the recorded message begin, dial 4642.  You will be directed to Mrs. Grant directly or her voice mail.  If you should connect to voice mail, please leave the date/dates of absence, child's name, child's teacher, reason for absence and a call back name and number. If you are unable to call in, an attempt will be made to contact you by phone. If we do not receive a call or note, the absence will be considered unexcused. We are required by law to send out a letter asking about the absence.  Repeated unexcused absences will result in a referral to the district's Attendance and Welfare Officer.
