Student Absence Information

Parents or guardians must notify the school before 7:50 a.m. on each day of a student’s absence.  This assures the school that the child is safe at home or in school.  When the child returns to school, he/she must bring a note to his/her teacher explaining the reason for the absence.

When a student is absent for one or two days, teachers will provide a reasonable extension of time for the student to complete assignments and homework missed during the absence. When the student returns to school, arrangements should be made with the teacher for this accommodation.  Ordinarily, daily assignments will not be sent home on the first or second day of an absence.

Parents or guardians reporting an absence should call 773-445-4737 and leave the child’s name, room number and reason for the absence on the school voice mailbox #1.
