Thanks to the cooperation from all of our parents, the Call Safe program is going very well. Parents have been asked to call the office if their child is going to be absent or tardy .

To make the system even easier, we are adding an attendance line 377–4153. Starting immediately, you can call anytime and leave a message; we will check every morning. If students do not arrive at school in the morning and parents have not called us to indicate their child will be absent or tardy, we will call parents to let you know your child is not at school.

We request that you contact the office through the attendance line, even if you let your child’s teacher know of their absence. The secretary needs the information to tabulate the absences and compare those absences to the phone list, along with Bobcat Club, which will also check the attendance line messages.

As before, if your child is going to be absent for five days or more, your child’s teacher will ask you to sign an Independent Study Form. By completing this form, we are able to recover the state funding lost from those days missed and gives your child credit for makeup work.

Please call the office 376–4435 if you have any questions.
