We expect every student to be present for every scheduled class.An absence from school for whatever reason does not excuse a student from the obligation and responsibility of his ordinary class work, nor does it relieve him of homework. In the event of an absence from school, the following procedure must be followed inorder to receive an excused absence:
Notify
The parent or guardian must call School Office or E-mail the office (mclinton@elcatholics.org) prior to 9:00 a.m. on the day of the absence to report that the student will not be in school. An email or voice message must include:
Student's first and last name
Current Grade
Parent's first and last name
Phone number where they may be reached
Reason for Absence
Verify
Immediately upon return to school, the student must present a note, written and signed by the parent or guardian, indicating the reason for his absence. A note from the doctor or dentist office is required if the student had an appointment. The note should be submitted to the Office before the student returns to class.
