Success in school depends on regular attendance. Students are required to attend class on all days school is in session. If your child will be absent or tardy, please call the school at 719-234-4700 by 9:15 a.m. and provide the following information:
- Student's name
- Grade
- Teacher
- Reason for absence
Illness and Events
Make-up work will be provided upon the student's return and is due one day for every day absent. For example, if a student misses school on Monday and receives their work on Tuesday, the make-up work will be due at the beginning of school on Thursday. The student has all of Wednesday (one day) to complete the work.

Early Release
If you need to remove your child during school hours, please come to the office and sign your child out. We will call them to the office for pickup.
Prearranged Absences
If you know in advance that your child will be absent, please pick up a Prearranged Absence Form from the office. A copy will be given to the child's teacher so homework can be assigned. A two-day notice is requested for the teacher.
It is the student's responsibility to check with each teacher to collect make-up work due to absences. Work given before an absence must be requested at least two full days in advance and is due the day the student returns to school.
Tardies
Students are expected to arrive by 8:15 a.m. If your child arrives after 8:20 a.m., they must report to the office to receive a tardy pass before being admitted to class.
Reports
Daily and quarterly attendance and tardiness records are monitored and reported on the student report card.
