Attendance

Attendance
We know that consistent attendance has a direct and positive impact on student learning. To reinforce those expectations, we have a few reminders for parents.
  • Parents are only able to submit up to 10 parent excuses in 1 school year.  These absences include approved vacations and non-medically excused absences. Please contact your child’s school counselor or administrator if you have any questions about your child’s attendance. 
  • Medically excused absences are defined as absences that are approved by a medical provider. Read more about the board policy on attendance.
  • Students who are not present for at least half of a day are counted as absent for the entire day
  • If you have an early dismissal, please log it in Sapphire and email the classroom teacher.
  • If your child was tardy or absent, please log it in Sapphire
  • If you have an upcoming trip and need to fill out the travel form, please complete the documentation in Sapphire and inform your child's teacher
  • If your child is a car rider at dismissal, please fill in your child's monthly calendar and keep the teacher informed of any changes

If you have any concerns with PR’s attendance policy, all inquiries K-12 should be directed to Carolyn Welshonce at cwelshonce@pinerichland.org.
