Policies - Absences, Tardiness, and Leaving Early
Absences
Children returning to school after an absence must bring a written excuse from their parents. This note is to be given to the teacher. No call is necessary to the school office until the third consecutive day of your child's absence. Please, do call the school nurse if your child has contracted a communicable disease such as measles or chicken pox. We are a family here at MCA and want to help our families in as many areas as we can, and prayer for a sick student is a great way we can help. Parents can also call to get the work missed by the student and notify to the school if there is anything else we can do to help. Regular attendance is one of the greatest contributing factors to success in school. Because of this, it would greatly benefit your child if all appointments were made before or after regular school hours.
Tardiness
All students are to be lined up in the designated area at 8:10 a.m. A tardy student disrupts the class and misses valuable time in class at the beginning of the day. Any student arriving after 8:20 a.m. is to report first to their classroom and then the teacher may send him to the office for a tardy pass. Students must have a note signed by the parent stating the reason for the tardy. Continued tardiness by the student may result in a parent-teacher or parent-administrator conference. If your child is going to be arriving to school later than 9:00 and needs a hot lunch on that day, please be sure to let the office know before 9:00 a.m. to get his or her name on the list. You may then pay for the lunch when you bring your child to school.
Leaving Campus During the School Day
A parent or legal guardian must sign out a student if he is to leave school before 3:00 p.m. The sign out sheet is in the school office. If your child is to be signed out by someone other than yourself (i.e. going out to lunch with a friend and his/her parent), we must have a letter signed by you giving permission. Phone calls are not acceptable.
