Absence & Educational Opportunity Forms

Attendance

Good attendance is critical for student success at Harrisburg Elementary.  All absences will be coded unexcused unless an email or a written note from the parent/guardian is received.  State law allows absences to be excused for the following reasons:
  • Illness or Injury
  • Quarantine
  • Death in the Immediate Family
  • Medical or Dental Appointments
  • Court or Administrative Proceedings
  • Religious Observance

Absences for personal trips are not excused according to state guidelines.  In order to be considered in attendance, a student must be present at least one-half of the school day. At the elementary level more than ten (10) absences a semester or 20 absences a year are considered excessive. If illness is given as the primary reason for non-attendance, the principal may request a physician's documentation.
