REPORTING AN ABSENCE

To report an absence, call or email our attendance clerk, Mrs. Robles.

CLEARNING AN ABSENCE

Pursuant to AR 5113, parents shall notify the school and provide reason for their student's absence within 5 days. If a parent or legal guardian does not provide a reason for the absence after 5 days, the absence will be noted as TRUANT.

After a total of 12 absences during a school year due to illness, any future absences due to illness MUST be verified by a physician.

The only other way to release your student from campus early is to come to the office personally to pick him/her up. Identification will be required.

Students will not be released from a parent phone call. Students who leave campus without school permission will be marked truant and will be subject to discipline.
