Absentee Notice

Attendance, including repeated late arrivals and early dismissals, can affect many important facets of a child’s experience in school, including achievement and social relationships, and can even be a predictor of college and career success.

To report a child late, parents are to call the front desk before 8:00 a.m. and indicate the reason and time of the late arrival. 

If a student needs to leave school early, a note stating the reason is to be sent in advance to the principal. Students who leave school early will be picked up and signed out at the McCoy Center lobby. Parents may not pick up students from the classroom. 

To report a child absent, parents are to complete the absentee web form above before 8:00 a.m. and indicate the reason for the absence.

Permission for an absence due to a family trip is to be presented in writing to the principal two weeks in advance for approval. It is strongly recommended that such trips coincide with student holidays and do not conflict with cumulative and standardized testing days. Upon returning, the student is responsible to make up missed assignments.
