Official Attendance Time is 9:35 a.m.

**Remember to send in an excuse note anytime your child is absent.** Calling in a student absent does not excuse the absence--only a written parent note, doctor's note or an e-mail from a parent/guardian will excuse the absence. If the student spends some part of the day in school and he/she is out for a medical/dental appointment, a note from the care provider is required to excuse the absence.

Notes may be delivered to the front desk, sent in with your child, emailed to Paschal Attendance or by completing the online attendance form; Paschal Absence Form.

3 unexcused absences within a 6-week period will result in a Truancy Warning Letter. Further unexcused absences will most likely result in court fines.
A student is allowed 9 absences per semester (18 per school year) in order to meet the Compulsory Attendance Law's 10% rule. Absences over these amounts may result in loss of credit and/or grade retention.
The tardy bell rings at 8:10 am. Students will be counted tardy if they are not in their seats by 8:10 am. Only a note from a physician can excuse a tardy.
