Students are required attend class on the days school is in session. If your child will be absent or tardy, it is your responsibility to call the school attendance line at 719-234-5900 by 8:15 a.m. and leave the following information:
- Student's name
- Grade
- Teacher
- Reason for absence
Illness and Events
Make-up work will be provided upon the student's return to school and is due one day for every day absent. For example, if a student misses school on Monday and receives their work on Tuesday, the make-up work will be due at the beginning of school on Thursday, giving the student all of Wednesday to complete it.
Early Release
If you need to remove your child during school hours, please come to the office and sign them out. Valid identification is required upon arrival. Note that there are no checkouts after 2:50 p.m.; the student will be called to the office instead.
Prearranged Absences
If you know in advance that your child will be absent, please pick up a Prearranged Absence Form from the office. A copy will be given to the child's teacher to assign homework. Teachers request a two-day notice.
Students are responsible for checking with each teacher to collect make-up work for absences. Work may be given prior to the absence if the teacher is notified at least two full days in advance. Any work received before the absence is due the day the student returns to school.
Tardies
If your child arrives after 8:15 a.m., a parent or guardian must check them in at the office for admission to class.
Attendance Reports
Daily and quarterly attendance and tardy records are maintained and reported on the student report card.
