STEPS TO FOLLOW TO CHECK OUT A STUDENT
1. Only people listed on the registration card will be allowed to pick up a student. If you need to add a person to the card, you must do so in person (phone calls will not be accepted).
2. You MUST have a picture ID with you. Please don't ask us to bend the rules or make exceptions - this is for the safety of your child.
3. Be sure to come at least ten minutes early. It takes at least this amount of time to write out a pass, verify picture ID, and send for a student. A student is not allowed to wait in the office for a parent or for anyone wanting to pick them up. Again, this is for safety reasons.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO CALL IN A STUDENT WHO IS GOING TO BE ABSENT OR LATE
1. Please call the attendance line at 291-6800, ext. 1 the morning of the absence. Let the office know if your student will be absent the entire day or will just be late. Be sure to have the student's full name, ID number, grade, and reason for absence. If you need to talk to someone, the Attendance Office is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Attendance Office also has a 24-hour voice mail and you can leave information on the recorder if you wish.
REQUESTING HOMEWORK
A child must be absent 3 days in a row before homework can be requested through the Attendance Office. The teachers then will have 24 hours to gather work for the student. Other possible ways to obtain homework: Gradebook Wizard, e-mail teachers, or have your student ask fellow classmates. Your student will have 1 day for each day missed to make up work.
EXTENDED ABSENCES
If you know your child will be out for a number of days, please pick up an Extended Absence/Homework Form in the attendance office at least 2 days before the absence. Parents will need to complete the form and the student must have each teacher sign it. This form asks the teachers to prepare homework for the student before they take the leave requested for the days specified. The form is to be returned to the attendance office and is used to record the absences without calling the parents each day the student is gone. The homework requested will be due when the child returns from the extended absence.
We request that you follow the above steps. These rules were put into effect for the welfare and best interests of the students.
