Elementary Attendance Practices and Procedures 2021 – 2022
It is an expectation that Elementary students are regularly
attending Learning Online. Students for
which attendance is a concern, will be referred to the Principal and/or
Superintendent of Learning Online and directed to return to their base
school.
These procedures will be followed to support regular
attendance.

If a student is not in attendance for the
morning class meeting, but arrives later in the day, the absence will be
updated to a late and the time of arrival will be noted in MSS. It is important that the student make let the teacher know they have arrived. This can be done by sending a message in MS Teams.
