Daily School 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 required to telephone the
school (554-2370) on the day of the absence to verify their nonattendance. As an alternative,
the parent may send a note to the school on the day that the student returns. Any
absence not excused within this 24-hour period will be considered unexcused.
Students who arrive at school anytime after 7:45am 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 un-excused 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.
