Parents/Guardians please make sure to read the attendance information below regarding excused/unexcused absences, these definitions align with the legislative changes made in the Indiana Code 20-33-2 ,House Enrolled Act 1234 and Senate Enrolled Act 282 for the 2024/2025 school year.
Definitions: Excused absences are absences with written documentation or parent communication stating the student is ill, experiencing symptoms, or other excusable absence reason as outlined in student handbooks. Communication is key. It is important for parents/guardians to communicate with the school’s attendance personnel anytime a student is absent in order to be considered excused. Parents/guardians unable to call on the day of the absence MUST call the school the next school day. If a call is not made to verify the absence the next school day, the absence will be considered an unexcused absence.
Unexcused absences are absences without written documentation or parent communication stating the student is ill, experiencing symptoms, or other excusable absence reason as outlined in student handbooks.
