ATTENDANCE Regular school attendance is important for each child’s success at school. Any child with unexcused absences for three consecutive school days, five school days in a semester, or seven days in any year (whichever occurs first) shall be considered in violation of this law. For the absence to be excused, it is the parent’s responsibility to notify the school prior to 9:15 a .m. each day of absence. In the event the school is not notified, each parent will receive an automated phone call and/or email stating the child is not present at school. If no parent call is received by the end of the school day, the absence will be considered unexcused. You may also e-mail absences/notes to: howbertt@usd450. net In the event your student has excessive absences, the school will send a courtesy letter when a child reaches 7 absences. The school will send a letter which requires documentation for subsequent absences to be considered excused when a child reaches 10 absences. A team review meeting may be established at any time to determine further services and supports for your student. ARRIVING LATE OR LEAVING SCHOOL DURING SCHOOL HOURS If it is necessary for your child to leave during school hours for health or urgent personal reasons, please inform the teacher and the office in advance. Please come to the office and sign your child out so that we know your child is being accompanied by a responsible adult known by the school personnel. Students may sign themselves in when they arrive if they have a note or the school office has been notified. For the continued safety of our students, we have monitored entry to the building with electronic access. During school hours, access to the building will be controlled by office personnel. When visiting, please be sure to sign in at the office and obtain a visitor’s sticker before proceeding to your destination. We ask that you stop by the office to sign out upon your departure.
