ABSENCES
If your child will be absent from school please call the school at 717-755-2841. You may call anytime and leave a message on the answering machine. When the student returns from being absent they have 3 days to turn in a signed excuse blank. If the excuse is not turned in within 3 days the absence will be unlawful.
After a student accumulates 3 unexcused absences, the school is responsible to:
- Develop a Truancy Elimination Plan in partnership with the student and parent/guardian.
- Notify the district magistrate and/or Children and Youth Services of all subsequent unlawful absences.
If a student accumulates 10 absences (excluding preapproved educational trips, death in family, or religious holidays), the school will require that all subsequent absences be excused by a physician.
