Being in school every day means your child won’t miss out on learning. Try to schedule appointments and family trips outside of school hours. If your student asks to stay home “just because,” remind them of what they will be missing, such as reading groups or music. Explain that they can be absent only when sick or if there’s a family emergency. There is so much research behind being consistently at school and the positive impact it has on children. We love them very much and look forward to seeing our Bobcats each day. Although this is the case, with it being the "sick" season, if your child is not feeling well and is showing signs of sickness, please keep them home and call the office to excuse their absence. If you have any questions regarding this, feel free to give us a call, we are happy to help.
Oregon Trail School District’s attendance policy can be found on the district’s website under Student Safety and Family Rights. This outlines what makes an absence excused or unexcused.
