ATTENDANCE

Please call the school by 9:00 am if you child will not be attending.  We have voice mail, so you may leave a message 24 hours a day. If you do leave a message, PLEASE STATE THE REASON for the absence. A call with no reason given does not necessarily make the absence excused. If you do not have a phone, be sure to send a note with the student the next day explaining the reason for the absences.  If there is not a call or the student does not bring a note, that student will be assigned ALC for 2 days as if they were truant from school.  If a note is brought in the following morning, the ALC will be rescinded.

FILE YOUR TAXES FOR FREE!
                If your household income is LESS than $60,000 you can file your taxes through the Ohio Benefit Bank for FREE.  For more information, contact Tri-County CAC at 652-2246.  This free service will be offered on Saturday February 4 and appointments are necessary.

STUDENT FEES
Students may pay school fees in the office.  Grade cards will be held until fees have been paid.  Students will also not be allowed to attend school dances or receive a work permit until fees are paid or a payment plan is arranged.  A fee waiver, sharing of information form, is available in the office.
