On each day a child is absent or tardy the parent should call the absence line as early as possible (before 10 a.m.).

1. Dial 395-4636.
2. Leave a message including the child’s name, teacher, room number and the date of illness and/or tardy, and the reason.

The reason is very important but does not need to be detailed; a simple “She/he is sick today” will suffice. If the child has been to a doctor or dental appointment, please provide a doctor’s note to have the absence excused.
