Attendance
It is the responsibility of parents and guardians to see that their child attends school regularly and on time every day. Every school day is important to the education of your child. Research tells us that the best learning takes place during the interaction of the teacher and child during class discussions. Simply making up the missed work does not begin to take the place of actual class attendance. Students who enter class tardy are disruptive to classroom instruction and can have a challenging time getting into the classroom routine. The same holds true for students who leave early. It is important that students are here for the entire day. We urge you to schedule medical and other appointments so that they do not conflict with class time. If it is necessary to leave school before the regular dismissal time, send a written note to the teacher indicating your intentions.
We discourage vacations during the school year. The principal has the responsibility of approving prearranged absences. We realize in the case of a family emergency that this may not be possible. Teachers are not required to provide assignments in advance. We would encourage students to read, keep a written journal and practice math facts while out of school. Students can complete make up assignments when they return.
If your child is absent, please call the school at (513) 351-5737. This is for your child's safety. If you do not contact the school, it will be necessary for the school office to contact you. The parent should also send in a note upon the student's return explaining the absence. The note is to be given to the classroom teacher. Students with excused absences are allowed two days for every day of absence to make up work. Students are responsible for making up work when they are absent.
PARENTS OF STUDENTS THAT HAVE FlVE OR MORE UNEXCUSED ABSENCES WILL BE REQUIRED TO ATTEND A MEETING WITH THE PRINCIPAL. FURTHER UNEXCUSED ABSENCES WILL LEAD TO COURT INVOLVEMENT.
