06 - Attendance

Parents/Guardians are required to notify the school when their child is absent and inform the school of the reason for the absence within twenty-four (24) hours by telephone call or written note in order to qualify for an excused or validated absence. It is requested that parents call the office at 239-377-7900 no later than 9:00 a.m. on the day of their absence. You may report an absence on our message line.

Parents will be contacted via telephone after 5 absences within one semester. A letter will be sent home after a student has 7- and 10-days of absences.

Students are expected to come to school on time (8:25 a.m.) and remain in school until the final bell (2:50 p.m.). Tardies and early dismissals are recorded as incomplete days.
