Petals Policies
Absences
Each and every absence must be reported by the parent. Please give the student’s name and class when you phone the school office before 8:00 am. Your phone call will be taken directly by office staff. Students must regularly attend class and be on time if they want to receive the greatest education possible. In order to provide every student with the best learning environment possible, regular classroom engagement is required. This policy statement was created to promote punctuality and discourage poor attendance. Maximizing each student’s opportunity to study is our aim. Parents and students are both responsible for attendance.
Excused Absences
