Attendance

Attendance Procedures

If your child will be absent or tardy please telephone North Elementary School at (440) 748-6869, Option #2, (preferably before 9:00 a.m.) and state the reason for the absence/tardy. If such a call is not received, the school will attempt to verify absences by our automated phone system the day the absence occurs.  Automated calls are sent out at approximately 10:00 a.m.

Upon returning to school, the student should turn in an absence notice to the teacher. The written statement should include:

  • the student's first and last name

  • teacher name

  • date of absence

  • reason for absence

  • and a parent/guardian signature. 

Absence notes will be only be accepted up to one (1) week after the child has missed school. After the one (1) week, the reason for the absence will stand and not be changed. Absence notes and phone calls must be made by the legal parent/guardian.

Tardy to School

A student who is not in his/her assigned classroom by 8:40 a.m. will be considered tardy. Any student arriving late to school must have a parent/adult bring the student into the main office and sign their child in.
