REPORTING ABSENCES
If your child will be absent from school, you need to call 650-5304 before 8:00 a.m. or use the Report an Absence link on the website. Please report your child’s name, grade level, teacher, and reason for being absent. Please see the Elementary Handbook for a complete explanation of our attendance policy.
TARDY POLICY
Students that are not in the building by the second bell at 7:55 a.m. are considered tardy. They would then need to go to the office and pick up a tardy slip. Any child that receives three or more tardies in a month will receive a wake-up call for five days. Being prompt to school is necessary for the academic success of your child.
EARLY DISMISSALS (DOCTOR’S/DENTIST’S APPOINTMENTS, ETC…)
If your child has an appointment during the school day, please adhere to the following procedures:
-
Send a note to your child’s teacher informing the teacher of the departure time.
-
An adult must come to the office with their driver’s license and sign the child out of the building.
-
If the student will be returning to class, YOU MUST come to the office to sign them back in.
-
Be sure to ask the medical office for a receipt regarding your visit, which will need to be turned in to Salk’s school office when your child returns to school.
