Note Reminders:

We have attendance cards in the office, but you are able to write a note on any piece of paper or email the absence information to nh_office@elanco.org. You can also submit an attendance note on Parent Square. Please make sure to include the following minimum information on the handwritten or emailed absence note: Student Name, Date(s) of Absences, Grade/Homeroom Teacher, Reason for Absence, Educational Parent/Guardian Signature). Any excuse must be turned in within three school days in order for the absence to be reviewed and excused. 

For doctor, dentist, therapy, and specialist appointments during the school day, please bring a note when you return from leaving early, arriving late, or when the learner returns to school. A doctor excuse note must be returned within at least three school days after they return to school for the absence to be reviewed and excused. If a doctor note does not outline all of the dates the learner was absent then a parent/guardian excuse can be included for the additional days (unless the child has already reached medical note required status). 

If a student is leaving early or being pick up from school end of day, please do not forget to call, email, or send in a note before 3:00 pm. (Learners without a note will be sent home on their normal bus.) 

Below you will find the pre-approved absence form for educational trips, family vacations, bring Child to Work day, etc.
