Attendance Policies

It is imperative that your child arrives to school on time each and every day.  Our expectation is that parents will assist their child to prepare for school every morning so that he/she does not miss any valuable instructional time.

 Tardy Students
Student’s who are tardy must report to the office to receive a tardy slip to be admitted to class.

Extended Leave Absence

Parents must notify the school office in writing of intentions to go on a trip or to be absent for non-medical reason. This notification must be received a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the absence. Written notification must include: student name, room number, teacher name, dates of absence, trip destination and the reason for travel. You may pick up an Extended Absence Form in the office. 

Independent Study

 If your trip will take your child away from school for five or more school days, you may be eligible to request an Independent Study contract. Please contact the school office at least 10 days prior to your scheduled trip to determine if your child is eligible and to complete the required paperwork.  For more information please review the FUSD Independent Study Policy.

Dismissal During the School Day

Please avoid scheduling appointments for your children during school hours.  Parents must come to the school office to sign the log for students to leave during the school day for appointments. Students will not be called from class until the parent arrives so the student will miss the least amount of instruction. Students can also be released to emergency contact added to their Aeries Profile.
