ATTENDANCE
The start of the 2021-2022 school year has shown many absences. If your student is absent, other than officially quarantined, call the school and let us know why your student is absent. When your student returns to school, please be sure to send in either a parent note or a doctor’s note.
By state regulations, students are only allowed 6 parent notes per school year, even if they move schools during the school year. Student attendance is directly related to student achievement. If you have any questions regarding attendance, please contact Mrs. Veatch or Ms. Harrison at 869-4000.
COVID
If your student tests positive for COVID, you need to contact the school as soon as you have a positive test result and you must fill out the Student Protocol Form. Once you have completed this form, a district nurse will be in contact with you to let you know return dates. Once the district nurses contact the school, we then begin contact tracing for any students that may have been exposed. Please do this as soon as you know!
