Early Sign Out- Board Policy 5200: Students are to be counted
in attendance only if they are actually present for at least two (2) hours of the day or engaged in a school-approved educational
activity which constitutes a part of the instructional program for
the student. Therefore, a student released early before 10:20 am,
for students in grades K-1, will be marked absent for the day. The early release of students causes disruption to the academic
performance of all students and may create safety and security
concerns. No students shall be released within the final 30
minutes of the school day unless authorized by the Principal or
Principal’s designee (i.e., emergency, sickness).
Every absence must be followed by a written note from home on the day that the student returns to school.
The note must include the following information:Student’s nameDate(s) of absenceReason for absenceParent’s signature
Please Note:-Students that are tardy or are released early a total of 5 times
will not be qualified to receive a Perfect Attendance Award.
-After 10 absences, a note from a doctor is required for an
absence to be excused.
Norma Butler Bossard Elementary will be monitoring excessive absences
once students reach:o five (5) or more consecutive absences (excused and/or unexcused) within a
nine-week grading period;
o five (5) or more unexcused absences in a semester; or
o seven (7) or more cumulative absences (excused or unexcused) at any point
in the school year.
When students reach these monitoring points in reference to their school
attendance, parents/guardians will receive phones calls and letters.
If students continue to accumulate absences (excused and/or unexcused) a
formal meeting will be conducted at the school site and may warrant
referral to the District’s Truancy Intervention Program.
Tardies will be monitored as well.
“Blue Chips” for daily attendance are awarded to students who come to school on time.
Daily attendance drawings are conducted during the morning announcements for various prizes.
School Board Attendance Policy 5200 states
the following:•A student who is absent more than nine (9) days within a
semester or more than four (4) days for schools on a block
schedule, will not receive a passing grade for the semester
•The student shall have reasonable amount of time, up to three(3) school days, to complete make-up work for excused
absences.
•Any student who has been absent from school will be
marked unexcused absent until he or s/he submits the
required documentation. Failure to provide required
documentation within three (3) school days upon the return to school will result in an unexcused absence. Unexcused
absences do not require that the teacher provide make-up
work for the student.
