Attendance

Due to my past experiences and feedback from the attendance office I am going to review the procedure to use when you need to pick up your student during the school day.

Please send a note with your student on the day they need to be picked up or earlier.
The student needs to bring the note to the attendance office to obtain a pass out of class.
The student needs to keep that pass and present it to the teacher he has during that hour to be excused from class. They can then leave their class at the designated time and go to their locker if necessary and meet you at a predetermined place. You need to write what the appointment is for and approximately how long they will be gone or if you are taking them out for the rest of the day.

It is IMPORTANT that your student goes to the attendance office office when they return to school to get a pass to return to class, even if it is between periods because they need to be marked as returned to school.

A sample note would be:

Attendance Office:

     Please excuse John Brown from class today, October 10th at 12:15pm for an orthodontist appointment. He will be returning to school at approximately 1:30pm (or he will not be returning to school today).


Mrs.Brown

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

-allow for time when indicating the excused time for them to leave class and go to their lockers
-decide on a place to meet
-have your student check back in with the attendance office when the return to school

If you forget to send a note you can call the attendance office and your student can go down and obtain a pass.

Other attendance policies are outlined in the student planner on pages 7-13.
You can always call the office directly if you have any further questions:
