Excuse Notes

Regular attendance at school is essential for students' success in the classroom.  A written excuse -- dated and signed -- is required for all absences. Use this link to submit excuse notes. 

What is an Excused Absence/Tardy?

• Death of an immediate family member
• Illness of Student: Parents have a total of 10 notes to write for students' illnesses. After 10 cumulative absences due to illness students are required to present a written statement from a medical professional for each additional absence for the school year in order to be excused.
• Religious Holidays & Practices
• Medical & Dental Appointments: Be sure to grab note from the doctor's office!
• Family Emergencies: limited to three cumulative absent events per school year, as approved by the Principal.

All notes need to be turned in within 3 (three) days of his or her return to school after an absence or a tardy.
