School Hours are 8:15 a.m. – 3:20 p.m.
Students are allowed to enter the building when the first bell rings at 8:05 a.m.
Reporting an Absence
Please call or email the attendance office by 8 a.m. if your student will be absent. Include your child’s name, teacher, and reason for the absence.
State law requires parents to ensure regular school attendance for students ages 7–17. Students should only miss school for illness, family emergencies, or other unavoidable situations. If a student is absent without notification, the district’s automated system will contact the parent or guardian.
Students arriving after 8:20 a.m. without a parent sign-in or doctor’s note are considered tardy-unexcused. Repeated absences or tardiness may result in a parent conference, attendance contract, or referral to truancy court.
Early Pick-Up
We discourage early pick-ups except for illness or emergencies. If necessary, please send a note to your child’s teacher and sign the student out at the office.
Students are released only to parents or approved contacts listed in Infinite Campus. Be prepared to show identification at pick-up.
Attendance and Truancy
A habitually truant student is defined as:
Four unexcused absences in one month, or
Ten unexcused absences in a school year.
Absences due to suspension or expulsion do not count toward truancy.
Parents will be notified at the start of each school year about attendance requirements. Schools monitor absences and make reasonable efforts to contact families when a student misses class without notice.
If a student is at risk of habitual truancy, school staff will work with parents to develop a plan to improve attendance. When appropriate, the district may apply penalties tied to missed class time.
