April 2026 Breakfast and Lunch Menus.
We have several students who have used their 9 parent call ins for the year. Notices will be coming out letting you know of excessive absences. Here is a review of our policy that can be found in the student handbook.
An excused absence requested by a parent without a medical statement (which all count in the 9 allotted per year for each student) can be defined as, but is not limited to:
Students absent due to a valid cause as per Illinois school code law as requested by parent notification (see above).
Up to 5 mental health days as confirmed by parent notification (noting that a conference with the counselor will occur after the 2nd mental health day is taken to develop a plan of action based on the student’s mental health needs)
Illness confirmed only by a note from a parent/guardian.
Medical appointments or illness verified by a medical note are excused absences and do not count against the 9 allotted absences per school year.
After the 9 allotted days all days will be unexcused unless a doctor's note is provided. Please know how important attendance is!! We miss your child when they are not at school. We do know there is a lot of illness going around. Please end the school year strong!
