Raider Family: Where We Learn, Lead, and Grow!

Attendance

Attendance

  • Excused Absence will be issued for the following reasons:

    • Personal illness
    • Death in the family
    • Other emergencies which, in the school’s judgment, require the student to be absent
    • Religious holiday or observance
       

    Parents have two school business days after a student has returned to school to ask that a student’s absence be excused. After this time the absence will be marked unexcused.

    • Truancy
    • Reason for absence is not justifiable
    • Student fails to bring a note from parent/guardian
       

    BECCA: After SEVEN unexcused absences in a 30 day period or FIFTEEN unexcused absences in a school year, it is the responsibility of the school by state law to file the Truancy Petition.

Absence:

  • Parents/guardians may call the attendance office 24 hours a day to report or excuse students’ absence.
  • If leaving a message, clearly state your student’s name, your relationship to the student, date(s) of absence and reason(s) for absence.
  • Students may also give the Attendance Office a written note (from parent/guardian) with the same information signed by a parent/guardian.
  • A parent/guardian may also email the Attendance Office - RidgetopAttendance@ckschools.org

We have a callout system that places a call in the evening to the homes of students who have missed 1 or more classes during the day.
