Clearing absences is now a one step process—no more clearance slip
pickup.  Below is the current process.  

1. Parents/guardians can either call the Attendance Office (644-6209 or
644-6194)at any time (night or day) to clear the absence or have their
child bring a signed note.  The note must have the parent/guardian’s
contact phone number.  The attendance office is located in D134, across
from the Food Court at the Milva Street entrance.   

2. The attendance office is open to students before school from 8:00-8:25,
at lunch and after school until 4:00. The student DOES NOT have to get a
clearance slip before returning to classes.  Teachers can view excused
absences on PowerSchool.  If a student wants a clearance slip as a receipt
for themselves, they may pick it up, however, it is not a requirement for 
the teacher to see the clearance slip.

3. There will be a complete wrap-up on how to clear an absence in the next newsletter which will be mailed home in early November.
