Tardy Bell 8:05

We have had a number of students coming in late to school.  They need to be in their classrooms ready to learn when the bell rings at 8:05.  They will be marked Tardy-Unexcused if they are coming in after the bell.  Parents please drop off your student with ample time for them to get to class before the bell rings at 8:05.  Double route buses do not count towards tardiness.


Attendance Reminder

Dr./Dentist/Ortho.  Notes

Make sure that you are calling your student in on days they are sick or have a doctor appointment.  This way the office does not have to call you later to check in or they can have your child ready for early pick up.

Make sure that Doctor’s notes are being brought to the Jr High office after the appointment or if your student has been sick.  That note will change that absence in Skyward from a parent excuse - AE to a doctor excuse - AD. Remember that students get 10 parent excused absences (AE) in a school year.  After 10 they will be considered unexcused (UU).  You can have your student bring in the note to the office or you can email the note to cjones@rochester3a.net .

Mental Health Days: you are allowed 5 mental health days in a school year, but those are also part of your 10 excused absences (AE) that were mentioned above.  If 10 absences have been taken, all absences going forward will be marked as unexcused unless there is a doctor’s note for that day.
