office. If you child is late due to illness, please send him/her in with a note stating that he/she was ill.
Please note that three (3) tardies are equal to one absence.
If your child needs to be picked up early for a doctor appointment - Write a note and have your child turn
it into the attendance office in the morning before school. The note should state the time that your child
will be picked up, a number we can call to confirm the note, and the reason that they are leaving early.

themselves."
