having an appointment, watching another sibling's parade, etc. does not constitute an Excused
tardy or absence.

For repetitive attendance issues, we can help facilitate a plan to have your student in school on
time either with the help of our admin or as well as our CWA.

please bring in a valid professional note within three days (72 hrs) of the absence. If an
absence is not cleared within three days, it is marked unexcused.
