From the Issaquah School District Elementary Schools Parent Handbook
ATTENDANCE
Regular and punctual attendance is important to your child’s progress. According to Washington State law, students six years of age and older and their parents are responsible for ensuring the student’s daily attendance. Please help your child develop good attendance habits.
Absences that are excused include: illness/health,religious observances, school-approved activities, family emergencies, disciplinary actions as required by law, and family trips with prior principal permission. In case of absences, please notify the school office daily before 8:30 a.m. and provide your child’s name, teacher’s name, and reason for the absence.
When your child returns from an excused absence, the teacher will provide a list of make-up assignments, along with a reasonable timeline for completion. The student is responsible for completing missed work. Make-up assignments are not provided in advance.
PRE-ARRANGED ABSENCES
For Sunny Hills
There is now a Prearranged Absence Form that needs to be filled out prior to your child’s absence. The forms can be picked up in the office and are available on the Sunny Hills Website. Please just drop your completed form by the office. Consider your absence request excused, unless you hear otherwise.
