ATTENDANCE & ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL
The Educational Program offered by ICST is predicated upon the regular attendance of the student. It is important that a child be present and on time for each day school is in session. If a child is absent from school, please call school to inform us of your child’s absence. If a child has had a contagious disease, a note from the doctor is required. Any pupil that is absent 3 consecutive days or longer must bring a doctor’s excuse stating the student has recovered from the illness. This assurance must be presented before the pupil will be allowed to reenter their class.
Excused absences are...
A. Sickness
B. Emergency Medical Appointments
C. Death in family
D. Special emergencies such as a sudden illness of parent
E. Extended vacations or leaving for vacation before end of school
F. Religious holidays recognized by the State Department of Education.
Parents should try to make dental and medical appointments, which do not conflict with school hours. All students are expected to make up work they miss while absent. Parents should contact their child’s teacher to get work and assignments during an extended absence.
Any student absent more than 10% of the time (18 days) in will required to attend summer school or repeat the grade. Any student absent 10 days or more unexcused may be referred to the Board of Education.
EARLY DISMISSAL
Parents who wish a child to be excused from school early must send a note to the teacher with the child. Early dismissals will be granted in cases involving health (medical or dental appointments that cannot be scheduled outside of school hours, religious instructional classes, and family emergencies.) THE PARENT MUST COME TO THE OFFICE TO GET THEIR CHILD. NO CHILD WILL BE DELIVERED TO ANY PERSON, REGARDLESS OF RELATIONSHIP, WHOM THE CHILD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE. Children must be called for at the office of the school. Dismissal depends upon written notes requesting early exit from school. Teacher may keep pupils after school. Pupils may be kept for purposes of making up work missed or for disciplinary reasons. Students are not normally detained after 4:00PM. In grades 1-4, parents will be notified 24 hours in advance of a detention. In the case of an administrative detention, a written notice will be sent home 24 hours in advance.
DISMISSAL
Students being transported by car must be picked up by 3:25 on full days, 12:45 on half-days and 4:00 on days a student has a detention. If there is a delay, please call and notify the main office.
