Attendance and Truancy, Policy #5200 Students who attend school consistently and are on time develop better socially, establish better communications with their teachers, acquire important lifetime habits such as dependability, self-sufficiency, and responsibility and have more success academically.

Please help us by getting your student to school/class on time.

  • If your child is absent please call the attendance line at 574-267-6231 to report their absence. Please leave a message if we are unable to answer. We check the machine regularly. Office hours are 8:40am-4:20pm 
  • Need to leave for an appointment? Please call 574-267-6231 at least 1/2 hour before your student needs to leave. This gives us enough time to have them ready. Unfortunately no office pick ups after 3:30pm 
  • Doctor Notes: Please turn them into the office as soon as possible Reminder: Students are limited to 10  absences per year.  After the allowed 10 day limit, each additional absence will only be excused with: 
  • Medical Note (including date and time seen to excuse student)
  • Pre approved principal excused (has to be done at least 5 days before the absence)
  • Bereavement with documentation
