List of 7 items.

• Absences/Attendance

  Consistent with current absence reporting practices, parents/guardians are expected to use the online Absence Reporting App to notify the School of ANY full day absence - health-related or not - before 8 a.m. for each day your child is absent. By reporting an absence through the app, you will NOT need to email your child’s teacher or the summer attendance office. More information regarding the Absence Reporting App will be shared at a later date.

  
  

  Students with any symptoms or who do not feel well enough to be in school by 8 a.m. should not be sent to school later that day.
