Student Absence

•  If your child will be absent from school, please call the absentee line at your child’s school.  We request this not only to ensure that your child is home safely with you, but also to track communicable infections in the school district.  There is an answering machine which is available 24 hours a day; therefore, you can leave your message any time of the day or night.  If you forget to call the absence line, the office will call you to verify the student’s absence.  Please do not leave homework requests on the absence line voicemail.  Call your child’s school office or classroom teacher.

COMMUNICABLE DISEASE

•  In order to prevent the spread of communicable disease and to insure rapid recovery with a minimum of after affects, parents should keep children at home when they show evidence of any of the symptoms listed below:

Vomiting  Fever Skin Eruption Earache Red or Discharging Eyes

Coughing Runny Nose Chill Stomach Ache

Headache Enlarged Glands Sore Throat Diarrhea

If any of these symptoms are found in a child at school, parents will be notified and the child will be sent home.

All children should be kept home until 24 hours after there is no fever.
