Attendance Policy Key Points & Procedures
-
Absence Procedure
- Absent notes must be emailed to 1251-Attendance@sarasotacountyschools.net within three (3) days of absence
- Parents/guardians must include the following in the email
- student's full name
- date of absence
- reason for absence (all notes without a reason will not be processed)
- Parent notes that exceed 3 consecutive days will require further documentation. Parents can excuse up to nine (9) absences. Further documentation is required for absences exceeding that limit.
***PARENTS/GUARDIANS***
A doctor’s note will be required after excessive absences. Any student who has 15 unexcused absences within a rolling 90-day period is habitually truant and will be reported by the Superintendent to the Department of Highway and Safety and Motor Vehicles resulting in suspension of a driver’s license or permit. -
Early Dismissal Procedure
- Early Dismissal notes must be emailed to 1251-Attendance@sarasotacountyschools.net
- Parents/guardians must include the following in the email
- student's full name
- date and time student is leaving
- reason for absence (all notes without a reason will not be processed)
- Once an email is sent, the student can come to the attendance office to obtain an early dismissal pass which will excuse them from class at dismissal time.
- Early dismissal absence will remain unexcused until an email is received by the school which follows the absence procedure.
- If you return to campus that day, you will report back to the Attendance Office, sign in, and receive a pass back to class.
***PARENTS/GUARDIANS***
There will be no students dismissed after 1:45 unless previously arranged. We encourage you to send your child in with a note for every early dismissal to keep our classroom interruption to a minimum. When picking up your child for early dismissal there is no need to come into school if you’ve sent them with a note and called to confirm. -
Tardy Procedure
- Tardy notes must be emailed to 1251-Attendance@sarasotacountyschools.net
- Parents/guardians must include the following in the email
- student's full name
- date of tardy
- approximate time of arrival
- reason for tardiness (all notes without a reason will not be processed)
- Tardy sign in starts 2nd period. Students will sign in on the pink tardy sheet then write their own pass and time stamp it.
- Tardy arrivals will remain unexcused until an email is received by the school which follows the absence procedure.
- Acceptable reasons to excuse a tardy fall under the same rules as excused absences.
