Reporting Absences

On any day that a child cannot attend school, a parent or guardian must call the school office to excuse the child, stating the reason for the absence. This check on attendance lets the school know that an absent child is safe at home and avoids the need for a note upon the child's return to school.

Parents are encouraged to call the absence line,451-1584, the evening before or the morning of, to report a student's absence. Please leave the requested information on the absence line. Calls to the absence line must be made by 8:30 a.m.. If calling after 8:30 a.m., please call the Hester School office at 455-2150.

In the case of an extended illness it will not be necessary to call the school every day; however, the school may require verification from a physician. If the illness exceeds two weeks, provisions for continuing the child's instruction, including possible tutorial help, will be made. A child absent from compulsory school attendance without valid cause will be considered truant. Habitual truants are subject to legal action.
