Student Absences

If your child will be absent or tardy, WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE CALL THE SCHOOL OFFICE BEFORE 8:45 AM (507-446-2300).  If no one answers, you can leave a message 24 hours a day/7 days a week.

1. Leave your name, student’s name, grade, and reason for their absence.
2. If we haven’t heard from you by 8:45 a.m., calls will be made by school personnel to reach a parent/guardian.
3. Please communicate all absences through the office, not the classroom teacher.

4. GUIDELINES FOR KEEPING SICK CHILDREN HOME:

   If your child is sick, he/she should stay home.  Review Guidelines for Keeping Sick Children Home in determining whether your child should stay home in order to promote quicker recovery and prevent the spread of illnesses at school.
