Regular, on-time attendance is necessary for our student’s academic success. It also promotes positive work ethic for employment skills and future success. Please be reminded that parents / guardians are required to notify the office via a note or telephone call prior to 8:30 a.m. on or before the day their child will be absent for any reason. Our voice mail attendance hotline (952-226-0301) is open 24 hours a day. Failure to call may result in an unexcused absence for your child. Students are considered tardy if they arrive at school after 8:30AM.
The 2012-2013 Parent/Student Handbook outlines the reasons that will be accepted for excused absences and examples of unexcused tardies and absences.
In order to provide the very best education for your children, they need to be in attendance. Missed assignments can be completed. However, it is extremely difficult to replicate instructional activities, discussions, small group work, etc. that have taken place while your child was absent from school. Although we know that illnesses cannot be avoided, we hope that you will make every effort to schedule family vacations during the summer or one of our scheduled school breaks. Thank you for your cooperation!
