Students needing to leave school early must provide a note in the morning indicating the time of anticipated dismissal and the reason for the early departure. signed from their parent/guardian. Students will be called to the office when the parent arrives to sign out the student. Students will not be called early as this causes unnecessary loss of instructional time while waiting in the office. Early dismissals are recorded and tracked through our attendance procedures. Early dismissals require a doctor note or other valid documentation to be considered excused. Chronic Absenteeism A student missing 5 or more days during a marking term is considered chronically absent and will be required to complete an attendance intervention plan. This included excused and unexcused absences. Early Dismissal Requests A doctor’s note should be sent when a student is absent from school due to illness. A parent note documenting an absence due to an illness that does not require a doctor’s visit will be accepted and excused for the first 5 non-medically excused absences per year. Medical Absences A note is required for an excused absence. Such a note would include doctor’s note, court summons, or copy of an obituary from a death in the family. Notes should be submitted within five (5) school days after returning to school from absences. Notes from parents may also be submitted for consideration to excuse an absence from school. Only 5 parent notes representing 5 days of absence will be accepted per school year. A written request for vacation must be submitted at a minimum of 10 school days in advance to the principal. If approved, the maximum number of lawful days for family vacations and family trips for any school year may not exceed three (3) days cumulatively.
