Attendance Policy
Regular school attendance and punctuality are essential to ensure your child’s academic success and maximize learning. By attending school consistently, students can fully engage with the curriculum and stay on top of their learning. Parent/Guardian support in fostering these habits will positively impact a child’s academic journey and overall growth. Let’s work together for your child’s success!
Absences
If your child is absent, upon returning to school, he/she needs to bring a note from home within three days explaining the reason for the absence or send a note via email to 0681attendance@dadeschools.net. On the subject line, place the date and attendance note. Example: 8/17/24 Attendance Note. Parents will be contacted to meet with the school’s Attendance Review Committee when a student is absent 5 or more days. Additionally, students that have excessive absences may be excluded from Extracurricular activities, Field Trips and/or End-of-Year Activities.
Tardies
Arriving late disrupts the learning environment, hinders academic progress, and can lead to missed opportunities for understanding the content being taught. Given that punctuality is a component of attendance, students with three or more tardies in one grading period may not be eligible to receive Perfect Attendance awards. Late students must receive a late pass prior to entering the classroom.
