Attendance at Palm Lakes Elementary is MANDATORY. If your child needs to go to the doctor for a check-up or for any medical reason, please try to arrange doctor's appointments after the school day is over. If this is not possible, please have your child bring a note the following day to school. Your child's teacher will only allow 5 notes written by you during the school year in order to consider an absence EXCUSED. After the 5 th parent note the school requires you to bring in a note from the doctor. If the notes are not from the doctor they will be marked UNEXCUSED. We currently work with the Truancy Intervention Program in the State Attorney's Office to make sure we have excellent attendance. After 10 UNEXCUSED absences, you will receive a letter from the State Attorney's Office arranging a meeting to discuss your child's truancy. Please don't let it get to this point and remember how important it is that your child be in school everyday by 8:20 a.m.

The assistant principal and I also monitor tardies during the school year. If your child has been late to school 10 or more times, you will receive a letter from the principal as a warning to get to school on time. If the tardies continue, you will receive a call from me to come in for a conference to discuss your tardy situation and help you improve it. At this time your child will also get a SCAM which will remain in his permanent record. Beyond this conference, if your child is tardy, your child's name will be referred to our school social worker. Again, please work with us this year and lets get your child to school on time everyday.
