Absence Note

Pursuant to the District’s attendance policy, written excuse notes explaining the absence must be given to the school within three (3) days upon the student’s return to school. If the note is not submitted to the school within the required time frame, the day(s) may not be excused.

  • All absences resulting in a total of three (3) or more consecutive days due to illness will require a written excuse note by a licensed healthcare provider.
  • For absences that do not total three (3) consecutive days, parents may submit a written excuse note stating the reason for the absence. Excuse notes from a healthcare provider may also be submitted in lieu of a parent note for any absence.
  • When a student has been absent due to illness, excused with a parent note, totaling eight (8) days (cumulative), all subsequent absences may require a written excuse note from a licensed healthcare provider.

The only absences that are excusable are: 

  1. Medical emergency or sickness (supported with official documentation that must be sent to school within 10 days of the absence)

  2. Required court appearance (supported with official documentation that must be sent to school within 10 days of the absence)

  3. Death of an immediate family member

  4. Quarantine (supported with official documentation)

  5. Recovery from an accident (supported with official documentation that must be sent to school within 10 days of the absence)
