Lost & Found
Attendance
If your child should be in-person and instead logs in from home, they will be marked absent. This means if your child is in Cohort A, your child needs to attend school on Monday or Tuesday in person unless they are sick. If you are keeping your child home due to an exposure to covid-19 or an illness, then the nurse should be contacted to discuss school reentry. At that time, we will plan for your child to attend class remotely if they feel well enough to do so, and your child will then be marked remote present.
