Attendance Information

Determining When To Keep Your Child Home From School:

  • Keep your child home if they have a fever, greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius) or have had a fever within 24 hours. 

**To return to school after a fever, the student MUST be fever-free for 24 hours, WITHOUT taking fever reducing medications.

  • Keep your child home if they have been vomiting and/or had diarrhea within 24 hours.

  • Keep your child home if they are too sick to eat breakfast.

  • Keep your child home if they have a bad cough or cold, especially if it has kept them up during the night.

  • *Any condition that you think may be serious or contagious to others.


If your child is absent from school, please call the school at 607-397-8785. A written excuse indicating the reason for the absence is required upon your child’s return to school.


If your child is absent due to a healthcare provider visit please bring documentation from the provider.


Make school a priority and be sure your child is not absent more than necessary. 


**It is very important to notify the school when parent/guardian contact information such as phone numbers and/or address change.
