ANY ABSENCE - Please notify the school (208-525-7618) by 9:30 A.M. on the day your child is absent. This helps us confirm that each child is accounted for.
EXCESSIVE ABSENCE or TARDINESS - If a pattern of absenteeism develops, the teacher will contact the parent/guardians to determine needs. The teacher will notify the principal concerning the absences and/or tardiness.
PRINCIPAL INTERVENTION - After the teacher has made a contact with the parents/guardians concerning excessive absences and/or tardiness, if necessary, the principal will then take steps to help in correcting any further problems. This assistance may include involvement of the school nurse or counselor, notifying the truant officer, or initiating a referral to the Department of Health and Welfare.
Please make sure to send a signed note or call the office within 3 school days.
NOTE: Our intent is to solve attendance problems quickly so that the children will not fall behind and become discouraged.
