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.

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. Because of
this, 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.
