Attendance letters are sent to families for both excused and unexcused absences after 3, 6, and 9 days of missed school. Sending these letters is a requirement of the Illinois School Code. This is a way of communicating the student’s attendance record with their family. Please continue calling your child’s absence to your child’s school if they are sick (i.e, vomiting, fever, etc.) as we do not expect students to be attending school if they are sick. If the absence extends for three consecutive days, parents may be required to submit a doctor’s note, per the Student/Parent Handbook.
