Absences/Tardies/Leaving Early
When your child is absent:
 1.  please call the office to make arrangements for homework to be collected
      so that your child will not fall behind because of not being at school.  Call by
      10:00 so that I have time to collect homework.  You will be able to pick up the work anytime between 1:30 and 2:30. 
 2.  When your child returns to school, I need an excuse within 3 days.  If I do not
      receive an excuse within 3 days, the days missed will be unexcused.  If you
      call the office and tell them that your child will be absent for a few days
      because of illness, I still need a written excuse.  Your call does not count as
      an excuse.
  Parish Policy:  12 or more unexcused days and a child can be retained in
   that grade

When your child gets to school after the 8:15 bell: 
 1.  Please get down with your child so that you can sign him/her in for the day.  Don’t just drop him/her off by the office or parent drop-off 
 2.  In the office, you will have to fill out a tardy slip.  This will help with record keeping in the office and for myself. 

When your child has to leave early for an appointment or because of illness at school:
1.  If you know in advance, please send a note to me. 
2.  Please get down so that you may sign your child out
3.  In the office, you will have to fill out a slip.  This does not count as the note for excused
                 absences.  When your child returns to school, please send an excuse.  This will help with
                 record keeping in the office and for myself.
