Page | 7 entrance door of our school. Remember that the education and safety of children are our first concerns. In order to keep potential interruptions to instruction at a minimum, we ask that you do not take small children in the classroom setting. If it is necessary to see a scholar throughout the course of the instructional day and younger siblings are with you, we will gladly call the scholar to meet you in the office. **Cell phone use in the instructional areas is prohibited in order to maintain an effective learning environment. Your cooperation is appreciated. Attendance Coming to school every day is very important. Our goal is to have 100% participation of scholars attending school every day. We are asking you to help us reach this goal by scheduling trips, appointments, etc. at times when school is not in session. This will allow your son/daughter to come to school every day unless they are ill. If your child is absent due to illness a written parent note that contains the date and reason for absence is required to excuse the absence. Only 5 days of scholar illness may be excused by parent note each school year. The note must be turned into the front office. NOTES MAY BE EMAILED TO OUR ATTENDANCE OFFICER AT GLEN@WCBOE.ORG. Absence for Family Trips Please try to schedule trips during times when school is not in session. These absences interfere with the scholars’ learning process and hurt the school in our attempt to achieve our required attendance percentage for the school and state. The county guideline for elementary scholars is as follows: While it is necessary that a trip cannot be considered a legal reason to be absent from school. ONLY 3 DAYS OF FAMILY VACATION MAY BE EXCUSED EACH SCHOOL YEAR FOLLOWING THE PROCESS BELOW: Parents must submit a request for absences to be excused for family trips to the principal two weeks in advance of the trip designating the length of the absence. All arrangements for homework, tests, quizzes, etc. should be worked out with the individual teacher a week in advance. Scholars are expected to complete all make-up work within a reasonable length of time, which will be determined by the teacher.
