From the Attendance Desk…
Welcome to a new school
year - I’m looking forward to a great year at Forbes. In an effort to help you, I have prepared a
list of attendance procedures.
When your child is absent:
1. Please call the
attendance office to report the absence.
2. Send a note with
your child when they return to school. *
*** Please include student’s name, grade, reason for
absence, date of absence and parent’s day time phone number on all notes and
e-mails.
District policy allows two days for receipt of note
before absence is unexcused.
Requesting homework:
When a student has been
absent or will be absent for three days,
homework may be requested. Call the
attendance office before
Perfect attendance:
Perfect attendance awards
are based on attendance in every period.
If a student misses one period in any day, they will not be eligible for
perfect attendance. This does not include
absences for doctor/dentist appointments.
If a student leaves school or comes late and has a note from the doctor/dentist the absence will be
coded as Medical, and will not count against perfect attendance.
If you have any questions,
please feel free to call me at any time.
Thank you,
Connie Salyer
