Student Attendance and SARB Letters

Student attendance is reviewed regularly by the Student Attendance Review Board (SARB). Student attendance reviews are performed weekly and our computerized system automatically generates SARB letters to families who have exceeded the normal absence and/or tardy allowance. The first and second letters are generally warnings. The third letter may prompt a formal meeting in which an attendance contract will be signed. After the third letter and contract, families may be recommended for review at the County Sheriff's Station. Fines, penalties and other services may be enforced as a result of the SARB meeting.

Be sure to call in absences or submit letters to our attendance clerk, Jessica Fielder, in the TES front office or at 434-5826. If you have unusual or extenuating circumstances causing multiple absences or tardies, please let us know immediately.

If your child is absent or tardy for a medical appt., please bring a note or card from the practitioner's office. These are coded differently in the computer and are typically excluded from the computerized review.

Student attendance and starting our daily routines on time with the rest of our classmates are of the utmost importance in our young learner's lives. Please get our students to school on time. First and Second Grade students can be dropped off as early as 7:30am when our campus supervision begins.
