Regular attendance is vital for your child's academic success. Students who are absent more than 10% of the school year are considered chronically absent. Missing more than 15% of the school year puts students at risk of being retained. Additionally, students who miss more than 10% of the school year may lose their transfer status to Marshall Elementary. We strongly encourage ensuring that your child attends school as much as possible to support their learning and growth. 

Doctor's Notes:
If a student is absent due to illness/appointment, a doctor's note must be provided to the attendance clerk in the office for the absence to be "excused."

Excused absences are still counted as an absence.
