Attendance Expectations

Regular school attendance is fundamental to every student's academic progress and social-emotional growth. Even seemingly minor disruptions, such as occasional absences or morning tardies, rapidly accumulate into a significant amount of missed instructional time and vital classroom engagement. Ensuring your student arrives on time every day is one of the most impactful ways to support their long-term success and keep them connected to their learning community.

In-Person Learning Attendance: 
If you student will not be at school, please call our attendance line at 303-806-2480 and leave a message by 7:45 AM that school day. Your message should include your name, your student's name and reason for their absence.  We will work with each family to communicate whether the student's absence is excused or unexcused.  

Excused Absences:
*Temporary illness or injury - up to 10%
*Absences prearranged and approved in writing by the school principal
*Appointments which cannot be taken care of outside of school hours, with a note provided confirming the appointment.

We appreciate when families call the school for student absences.  Please know, some absences may be considered unexcused.  Our school is aiming for accountable attendance with our school community to support student learning.

If your student arrives between 7:45 AM- 8:30 AM, they will be marked tardy.  If your student arrives after 8:30 AM they will be marked absent for the day.
