The school must be notified the day a student returns after an absence. Excused absences are: death in family or family emergency, illness (if a student is absent five or more consecutive days a doctor’s note is required), medical appointments (doctor’s note required), legal reasons, and pre-approved family leave. All other absences will be considered unexcused. If your child wakes up with a fever, please allow him/her stay home from school for the safety of all.
