If you take your child to the Doctor, please bring the Doctor note to the office in order to get the

absence excused. Please make every attempt to have your child at school every day – on time.

3 tardies will constitute an absence. We do send out attendance letters after the 5^th absence

has occurred as a reminder. If your child exceeds the 10% rule, truancy proceedings will begin.

Our building opens at 7:30 AM and tardy bell rings at 8:00 AM. Instruction begins promptly at 8:00 AM.

If you need to pick up your child before the end of the day, please allow yourself an extra 5-10 minutes for us to get the student our of class. We WILL NOT pull students our of class ahead of time in order to maximize insturctional minutes. Please do not call ahead to the school and request that your child be waiting in the office.

OG Tardy Policy
We encourage all of our students to be at school on time to ensure that all instructional time is utilized to meet our students’ educational needs. Students who arrive after the 8:00 bell will sign in at the office and be counted tardy.
