**IMPORTANT TOPICS**
**ABSENCES:**
News from Ms. Alex in the Office
Please be sure to call in your child or email Ms. Alex if they are absent for any reason. Her email address is alex@nhcscrusaders.org.
Please call by 9 am if possible.
***Please be reminded that students need to be fever free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school. Students also need to be vomit free for 24 hours as well.
**Excessive Absences**
A student should not have more than four (4) excused absences during one semester for a total of eight (8) per school year. A child should not have more than four (4) unexcused absences without an acceptable form of documentation as to why the student is absent for the school day. After the 4th absence per semester, a student will only be excused if an appropriate form of documentation is turned in to the Office on the day the student returns to school. Acceptable forms of documentation include: doctor’s note, court note, funeral note, etc. A fifth (5th) unexcused absence will result in a referral to the Regional Office of Education Truancy Program. More than three consecutive excused absences will require additional documentation from the doctor to be excused.
**SACC Fee Late Pick up**
SACC ends at 5:00pm. If students are late to be picked up from SACC, the first time there will be a $10 late fee charged, the second time there will be a $20 late fee charged, and the third time there will be a $30 late fee charged. After the third time, the student will not be allowed to use SACC for the reminder of that quarter. The fee schedule will restart at the beginning of every quarter.
*Fees must be paid before you can return to SACC.
Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.
