Who do I call when my child is out sick? What do I do when
we are going on vacation? What happens if they come in
late? Who do I ask about schedules? Do these sound like
questions that you’ve asked yourself when it comes to your
child’s attendance, schedules, and grades? Well mom and dad
we’ve got the answers here in the guidance department! Here
are our top Q’s and A’s for you to look at if you ever are
wondering the same thing that quite a few other parents are
wondering………
Q: Where does my child take their sick note?
A: They just need to stop by the guidance office and see
Ms. Hartmann during homeroom to drop off their sick note and
receive an excused slip to show to their teachers.
Q: Who can I talk to about scheduling questions?
A: You would simply call Mrs. Schrecongost, School
Counselor, to ask any scheduling questions or discuss any
scheduling concerns.
Q: What do I do when we are going on a family vacation
during school time?
A: All you need to do is send a note to the front office,
addressed to Mr. Kenna, informing us that you will be out of
town. Please include the specific dates so it can be
marked accordingly in our attendance system.
Q: How long can my child miss before it counts as a half
day absence or a whole day absence?
A: When your child misses less than an hour of school, it
simply counts as a tardy for the day. If your child misses
more than an hour of class time, it is counted as a half
day. If they 3 out of 5 periods, it is considered a whole
day.
Q: What does “UND” mean?
A: “UND” is an absence code that simply means that we have
not received any documentation stating why he/ she was
absent from class.
Q: What does “EDU” mean?
A: “EDU” refers to an educational absence. It is very
rare that this happens, but anytime your child is pulled
from class due to an activity in school, ex. band or choir
practice, SGA, testing, or for a small group field
trip, it is not counted against them in their attendance
record. However, they are responsible for getting the work
that they have missed during that time period.
Q: What is the difference between tardy and late?
A: The difference between the two is just a matter of the
amount of time your child has missed in that specific
class. Tardy means that they have missed less than 30
minutes of a class. If they are marked late it means that
they have missed more than 30 minutes of that classes
allotted time.
Q: Will I have PE and Art together?
A: The answer to that is Yes and No. With the schedule for
the 2010-2011 school year each student will have two
enrichments at the same time. Our schedules will alternate
on an A-Day and B- Day schedule. You may have PE on A-Day
and Art on B-Day, but you could also have Computer
Applications on A-Day and General Music on B-Day. It all
depends on how your schedule is laid out. Now, if you
participate in Band or Choir they run all year long, and you
alternate the other enrichment class by the semester. So,
back to the question at hand, you will have all enrichment
classes, it just depends on your specific scheduling as to
which you participate in when.
Q: Will I have one enrichment all year round?
A:
If you have chosen to participate in Band or Choir you will
have that same enrichment all year long. They are an
all year enrichment course. You will have another
enrichment on the opposite day since we will have the
A-Day/B-Day schedule.
