Attendance
Regular school attendance is extremely important to a child's success in learning at school. When a child is late or absent, a parent should notify the school promptly. This is important so that:
- The school knows your child is safe.
- The child's absence is recorded as excused.
If your student is to be absent due to illness, appointments, etc. please notify the school office before 9:00 each morning they are absent. BOE Policy #1460 states that regular school attendance is required of all pupils under the Kansas Compulsory Attendance Statute. The Kansas Compulsory School Attendance Law holds parents responsible for requiring a child under their control or charge who is between seven and less than eighteen years of age to attend school on a continuous basis. In compliance with requirements of the Kansas Compulsory School Attendance Law, reports shall be filed with appropriate authorities when a child is not enrolled in a public or non-public school or when a child is enrolled in school and is inexcusably absent. 3/5/7 Rule: Inexcusably absent for a substantial part of a school day on either three consecutive school days, five school days in any semester, or seven school days in a school year, whichever of the aforementioned occurs first.
