Building Level Information
Absences

Anytime a student is absent or late to school, it is necessary to call 330-653-1300.
This attendance line is in operation 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Please state the
following: child’s name, parent’s name, teacher’s name, date of absence, and a brief
reason for the absence. Requests for make-up work cannot be made on the
attendance line. Please contact the school office to arrange make-up work. The
absences of afternoon kindergarten students can be reported on the Attendance
Line BEFORE 10AM; after which parent’s need to contact the Office directly.
Regular attendance by all students is very important. In many cases,
irregular attendance is the major reason for poor school work. Therefore,
we urge you to make appointments, do personal errands, etc., outside of
school hours, as much as reasonably possible. Because attendance is
important to us, we will be sending attendance letters home to those
students who are absent frequently.

The educational program offered by this District is predicated upon the
presence of the student and requires continuity of instruction and classroom
participation. Attendance shall be required of all students enrolled in the
schools during the days and hours that the school is in session. In
accordance with this statute, the Superintendent shall require, from the
parent of each student of compulsory school age or from an adult student
who has been absent from school or from class for any reason, a statement
of the cause for such absence. The Board of Education reserves the right to
verify such statements and to investigate the cause of each single absence
or prolonged absence. House B410 is new legislation (April, 2017) about how
school districts keep track of and report absences. In addition to HB410,
the elementary schools will only accept ten (10) parent excusal notes per
year for a student. After the ten parent excusals have been exhausted,
students need to bring in a doctor’s note for additional absences. If there
is no doctor documentation, these absences will remain unexcused and count
toward truancy.
