Is Your Child Dealing With Stress?

It's becoming a concern for young people as well as adults. With today's hectic lifestyles, more children than ever are experiencing signs of stress. Fortunately, kids are resilient. more...

Attendance is Important

Students who attend school regularly are more successful, both academically and socially, than those with many absences. We ask that you read the following information carefully so that you will be aware of both district and state attendance requirements.
When a student is absent, his/her parents or guardians are asked to telephone the school (554- 2251) on the day of the absence or on the day immediately following the absence. A parent may substitute a note for the school on the day that the student returns to school. Any absence not excused within this 24-hour time frame will be considered unexcused, and the student will not receive classroom credit for the days absent.
Students who arrive at school anytime after 7:45 a.m. must report to the office to sign in. Students who are habitually late to school will lose their opportunity to be excused. Students who have three consecutive unexcused absences or five days of unexcused absences in any semester or seven unexcused school days in any school year, whichever occurs first, will be considered not attending school as per Kansas Law 72-11139c. Students who are less than 13 years of age will be reported to Social and Rehabilitation Services. Students who are more than 13 years old but less than 16 will be reported to the appropriate county or district attorney. Students are not allowed to leave school with anyone other than the parent/guardian, unless the parent/ guardian has given such permission and the school has been contacted about such. Parents/guardians are required to come into the office to sign the student out of school.
