Attendance

There has been some confusion regarding attendance, so here is a quick reminder of what counts as an excused absence or tardy. This can be found in your Student & Family Handbook.

Excused Absence/Tardy:

  • Illness/Injury/Medical Procedure 
  • Family emergency
  • Religious observation
  • Funeral
  • Legal obligations
  • Appointments or circumstances of a serious nature, only which cannot be taken care of outside of school hours.

Please note: Parents are required to call the school’s attendance line 303-982-0273 if a child will be tardy or absent from school. In order for an absence to be excused, parents must call the attendance line within 24 hours of the absence.

Pre-Arranged Absences must be approved by the Principal at least 3 days before the absence using a "Pre-Arranged Absence Form". Please turn in completed forms to the office.

Attendance in Jeffco

The importance of regular, daily school attendance as a basis for academic achievement cannot be overemphasized. Attendance is a shared responsibility of the student, the families and the school.

It is the family’s responsibility to ensure their student attends school and to notify the school when their student is absent for a legitimate reason, such as an illness or family emergency. Each family should also ensure their student’s school has their correct contact information so that the school is able to communicate about any attendance issues that may arise.
