Absences & Tardies



Absences & Tardies:

If your student is ill, please call the school before 9:00 am and leave a message with the secretary, letting us know your child will not be at school.

If a student has one of the following illnesses or symptoms, he or she should not come to school: Strep Throat, Influenza, Fever, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Pink Eye, or other serious communicable diseases.

If your student is absent for an extended period (more than 3 day), please send a doctor's note when your child returns.

If you know that your student will be out of school for a funeral, doctor's appointment, etc., please contact the school ahead of time, if possible, to excuse your child.

Please help your students be on time each day for school. Excessive tardies may result in unexcused absences.

Checking In/Out of School:

• Students leaving school after the tardy bell (8:15 am) need to be checked out in the front office.
• If your student is tardy or comes to school after 8:30 am, you need to sign the student in at the front office.

Excessive Absences/Parent Notifications:
We encourage you to contact the school if your child has excessive absences. According to Utah Law, we will do the following to keep you informed of your student's attendance:

• Following the 5th absence: Contact will be made with parents, by letter, informing them of the student's attendance.
• Following the 10th absence: A parent/guardian meeting will be set up to plan ways to address the absences.
• Following the 15th absence: Interventions will be made.
