Attendance Policies

Regular and punctual attendance is important to your child's progress in school. Please help your child develop good attendance habits.

Student Absences

Our goal is to account for the whereabouts of students not in attendance at school each day. Please help us by calling Eagle Rock Multi-Age Program at (425) 844-4900 to report an absence each day your child will be gone from school. You can leave a message anytime on our recorder.

If we do not receive a call, someone will call your home. If you cannot be reached, we will call your work. Please save us this valuable time by calling us if you know your child will be absent.

Respect Learning Time

Students arriving late or leaving early, not only miss out on valuable learning time, but they also disrupt the learning of others. Please make every attempt to arrive on time and leave early only if absolutely necessary.

Leaving School Early

If early dismissal is unavoidable, please send a note to the teacher letting them know that your child will be leaving early. When you arrive at school, please come to the office to sign your child out. The office staff will call your student from the classroom.

Tardiness and Late Arrivals

Tardiness is a form of poor attendance. Parents must bring their child to the office to sign in and get an admit slip, if they arrive any time after 9:30 AM.

Absences and the Law

The 1995 legislature passed a lay requiring that all students, age 8 through graduation, attend school and that all absences be documented by the school. Therefore, we ask that you notify us by calling the school to report all absences or by sending a note with your child to the office.

If the office does not confirm the absence with you, it will be considered unexcused. State law required school officials send a letter advising you of the specifics of truancy laws following two unexcused absences.
