It is imperative that all students enrolled at Coburg Community Charter School be accounted for each day. For unexpected absences, such as those due to illness, please call the school prior to 8:15 a.m. on the day of the absence, if needing to leave a message, include student’s name, grade and reason for the absence (this is required). If parents/guardians do not call, for the child’s safety the school will telephone or email the parents/guardians at home or at work. You do not need to use this form to report the occasional illness or short doctor's appointments.

Because of our rigor and the importance of attendance for student success in school, absence due to vacation or other events is strongly discouraged. The multisensory nature of our school makes it impossible to replicate classroom time. Students re-entering the classroom after a tardy and or absence will often feel lost or “out-of step” with the others. For this reason, planned absences could be recorded as unexcused in our attendance system.  Students missing a total of 15 or more days, for any reason, are denoted by ODE as "chronically absent".

We are required to drop all students from our rolls if they are absent ten or more consecutive days for non-health related reasons. Once a student is dropped from enrollment, he/she will need to reapply for enrollment. If the grade level is full, the student will be added to a wait list. If the grade level already has a waitlist, the student will be added to the bottom of the list.

Please contact the student’s teacher to arrange for make-up work.  For planned absences, please be sure to provide ample time for teachers to prepare work.
