SCHOOL SPONSORED EVENTS and TESTING

When there is school-wide testing, such as the PLAN or ACT, the testing coordinator will email a list of students present within one day of testing; teachers are responsible for adjusting their attendance.
EXCUSED NOTES
Students who were absent from school the previous school day and have a note must report to the attendance office before school from 7:05 – 7:20 or during lunch. STUDENTS SHOULD NOT BE SENT OUT OF CLASS TO TURN IN EXCUSED NOTES. If the student does not turn in an excused note, the absence is unexcused.
