For children to be successful in school they must attend classes on a regular basis. Good attendance patterns are a must for students to develop qualities of being dependable, responsible and self-motivated. All students should arrive promptly and attend regularly. If sickness or family emergencies require that your elementary students be absent, call the school before 10:00 am. Parents or guardians of Circle High School students need to call before 3:00 pm of the day the student returns or send a note with the student in order for it to be considered excused. When families know in advance that students will be absent, please contact the school office. An early start on makeup work will benefit your child. Students are responsible for getting all missed assignments from teachers.
