If a student is going to be absent from school, for any reason, the parent or guardian (not the child) is to call the school office before 9:30 a.m. (502) 485-8204

Requests for homework pick-up (after school) must be made by 9:30 a.m. when the absence is called in, so the teacher will have time to prepare the necessary material for pickup. Work may be picked up during afternoon dismissal

Upon return to school, a signed note of explanation is to be given to the homeroom teacher. Teachers will assist the student in obtaining missed work. It is the student's responsibility to complete assigned work.

Students with excused absences have appropriate time to make up work as outlined in the Jefferson County Uniform Code of Student Conduct.

Releasing Students During School Hours:

If a student is to be excused early, the parent must notify the teacher in writing. This will allow the teacher to remind the student to prepare for early dismissal. An authorized adult must sign out a student departing prior to regular dismissal. The sign-out log is located at the attendance clerk's desk.

For safety reasons, only adults who have been previously designated as authorized may pick-up students prior to dismissal

Students will not be sent off the school grounds without parental permission.

Students will not be released to speak with anyone other than a parent during school hours (with the exception of Child Protective Services, or the police).

It is the responsibility of the parent to keep the school informed of special family arrangements in regard to custody of the child. Parents should not assume that school officials are aware of court orders regarding custody.
