To report an absence, please phone the Attendance Office (222-7500) between 8 a.m and 9 a.m. the morning of the absence.

Beyond the optimum 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. calling period, calls can be made at any time, day or night, by leaving a message on the automated phone system. This can be accomplished by calling the same number (222-7500). The prompt will direct you to dial "1" for the absentee line. The next prompt will ask you to dial the appropriate number for each class.

Please leave your name and relationship to the student, the student's name, the date, and the reason for the absence. NOTE: ONLY A PARENT OR GUARDIAN MAY EXCUSE AN ABSENCE.   

If the absence is of more than one day's duration, the Attendance Office should be notified concerning the duration of the absence. In cases of extended illness, it is recommended that the counselor be contacted and arrangements be made for make-up work. The school has determined that a phone call serves as the most dependable means of communication between home and school. However, a note from the parent or guardian will be accepted on the day the student returns from the absence incases where there is no phone in the home.

Failure to properly clear an absence will result in an absence being classified as unexcused. Students with an unexcused absence will not be afforded make-up privileges.
