All absenses cleared by a parent/guardian by noon of the following school day are excused and will not require a re-admit slip.

If it is not possible to excuse an absence by noon, a written note or phone call is required for a student to receive a re-admit slip to class.

Students whose absences are not excused on the daily attendance report or who are indicated as unexcused on PowerSchool will not be admitted to class without a re-admit slip.  Students must report directly to the Dean's Office for a re-admit slip.

Early dismissal:  Students who become ill during the school day must be excused through the Nurses' Clinic.  Students who leave school during the day must check out through the appropriate attendance office.
