ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES: 

If you call the attendance line (425-356-6626) and the message machine picks up, we are working with students in order to get them to class as quickly as possible.  Please leave a message and we will process your request or call you back as soon as time allows.  We have had many questions regarding the attendance line and whether parents need to follow up with a note.  District Policy requires a note within two (2) days.  We are excusing student absences and late arrivals based on your phone call, but please follow-up with a note as soon as possible.  You may review the policy online at http://www.mukilteo.wednet.edu/board/policy/Pol/3122-P.html. 

A note helps:

ð provide an extra layer of protection for the student in cases of appeal or attendance questions.

ð prevent telephone fraud.

Appointments:

BEFORE leaving, provide a note or phone call and a pre-arranged absence form will be issued.  Sign out when leaving and sign back in upon return.

Absences stay unexcused if this procedure is not followed, even if parents call AFTER THE FACT! 

Leaving campus without following this procedure, could get you a DETENTION!!

Students who fall ill at school:

Go to the Health room and check in with the nurse.  She will contact parents if needed.

Student absences/Late arrivals:

Provide dated, written note including specific dates, times and reason for absence within two (2) days of student’s return.  If a note is not turned in within two (2) days, disciplinary action will result.

SLEEPING IN IS NOT AN EXCUSED ABSENCE!
