Absent or late to school

If your child will be absent, arrive late, or leave early, please call the school attendance line. The parent(s) or guardian(s) with legal custody of the student or foster parents can call 24 hours a day and leave a message. If a child is not at school, and the school has not received notice of an absence, the school will call a parent or guardian. If we don’t hear from you, your child’s absence will be recorded as unexcused. Absence due to weather concerns will be excused only if reported by a parent or guardian.
