Please Provide Notes for Absences |
|
|
|
|
An unexcused absence, or being absent from school without a legal excuse, is not acceptable. For an absence to be considered excused a written note signed by the parent or guardian will need to be supplied to the school. State law dictates that the only lawful excuses for absence or tardiness are sickness, serious illness or death in the family, weather or impassable roads, religious observance, quarantine, court appearance, music lessons, attendance at organized clinics, remedial health treatment, an approved cooperative work program, or an approved educational field trip. If you have any questions regarding attendance notes, please contact Ms. Clark in the Middle School main office at 792-5891.
