Additional Information
Attendance is important in Pre-K! The first step in establishing good school habits is regular school attendance, so your child must be at school unless he/she is ill. A written excuse will be required for all absences. Please send a note with your child when he/she returns to school after being out for any reason. If you take your child to the doctor, please ask the doctor or nurse to write an excuse. Pre-K guidelines require children who do not attend class or are late for an excessive number of days without a medical or other reasonable explanation to be removed from the roster.
