Our students are valuable and important to us as well as to you as parents.  Regular attendance and arriving to school on time are vital to a student's success in school.  We need your help by making every effort to have your child in school every day.

  • Absences are excusable for specific reasons

  • A note is required when returning to school

  • Students are responsible for make up or schoolwork during absence

  • Tardiness will be handled according to the procedures and/or rules established by each school

Proof of enrollment:

While proof of enrollment is no longer required to attain a driver's license or learner's permit, Student Service's office can provide proof of enrollment for other situations such as child support or DHHR.
