Parents please read:
Notes are
REQUIRED EACH and EVERY time a student is absent or
tardy to/from school.
As stated in the new
Attendance Policy (adopted by Board in July), it is the
obligation of the parent/guardian to report a child’s
absence or tardy/early dismissal each day. The policy
requires that parents call the school if their child is
going to be absent.
Upon the student’s return to school from an absence or
tardy, the parent shall provide written documentation
stating the day(s) absent/tardy and the reason for the
absence/tardy. If the school does not receive written
documentation within two school days after the student
returns, the absence or tardy will be “unexcused.”
After 8 absences or 5 tardies, ONLY a DOCTOR’s note
or COURT note will be accepted.
The policy also states that the district will refer
students and their parents to Hamilton County Juvenile
Court for “habitual and chronic unexcused absences.”
The Superintendent will also revoke the driving
privileges of students of driving age for excessive,
unexcused absences.
Please refer to the Attendance Policy below, which
directly references The Ohio Revised Code for attendance
regulations and stipulations.-
