Attendance Policy

Students are expected to be present and engaged in learning every school day. Regular and on-time attendance is an important factor in student achievement and success. It is the obligation and responsibility of parents/guardians to ensure that every child 6 - 17 years old attends public school during each school year (C.R.S. 22-33-104).

Excused Absences

Students may miss school for illness or injury, pre-arranged absences that cannot be taken care of outside school hours, work-study programs, or a school-sponsored activity.

If your child will be absent from school please notify the school in one of the following two ways:

• Preferred Method: Request absences via Campus Parent to notify school staff of an expected student absence. Select "More" from the navigation. Next, select "Absence Requests." Then, fill out the form and submit.
• For immediate release, please visit the Attendance Clerk in the front office. To excuse past absences call 970-833-7105; this is a voice mailbox and is available 24 hours.

Unexcused Absences

A student with four or more unexcused absences from school in any one month or 10 unexcused absences during any school year will be considered “habitually truant.” We will notify the parents / guardians in writing of the absences, and, in partnership with parents / guardians, will develop a plan to address attendance issues and discuss consequences for further unexcused absences.

For more information on attendance, visit Board Policy JE.

Tardiness

A student is considered tardy if they arrive after 8 a.m. If a student arrives after 9:30 a.m., they are considered absent for one-half day. If a student leaves prior to 1 p.m., they are considered absent for one-half day. If a student is tardy, they must check in at the front office before going to class.
