Reporting an Absence
(352) 392-1554, ext 334. Office fax: (352) 392-7389.
Procedure
1. On the morning of each absence, parents report the absence via the Absence Reporting Line at 392-1554 *334. (This connects you to a mailbox where you may leave the information. If you have a problem, use x234.) %**
Include student name, grade, and date of absence, reason for absence, parent's name, and daytime phone number for verification.
2. Upon the student’s return to school, parents/guardians must justify each absence of their student via written parent note or other written documentation as described in the attendance policy section 3a. Parent communications must include student name, grade, date of absence, reason for absence, parent’s name, (and signature, when written communication), and daytime phone number for verification.
3. Students returning to school after an absence without a documented excuse may be sent to ISS until a parent can be contacted. All absences not justified within 48 hours of the student’s return to school will remain unexcused.
Please Note: all absences are unexcused unless justified by the parent/guardian and evaluated as excused by the school.
