Quick Tips

Daily engagement in the learning environment is a critical component for success.  As such, Saint Francis students are expected to maintain a consistent daily attendance record.

• TARDIES — A student is considered tardy after the start-of-class bell rings.  If a student arrives late to class, he or she is to report to the Attendance office before going to class in order to get an Admit Slip.
   
• FULL AND PARTIAL DAY ABSENCES — Whether a student will be partially or entirely absent for the school day, the parent or guardian must notify Attendance before 9:00 a.m.

  • Full Day Abscence

    Please fill out a new form for each day your student will be absent.

     

    Report Full Day Abscence

  • Late Arrival Form (Parent Portal)

    This form may be accessed on the Parent Portal and allows parents to notify the school when a student will be arriving 30-min or more late to a class. After 30 minutes into the class, the missed time is recorded as an absence, not a tardy. Any student arriving from a medical or dental appointment is asked to provide a note from the appointment.

    Report Late Arrival

  • Early Dismissal Form (Parent Portal)

    A parent will need to complete this form by 9:00 a.m. on the day of a student’s early dismissal from school. The parents should specify the student’s name, time to be dismissed from class, and reason for early departure. The student will be issued a pass to leave class at the designated time.  If a parent uses this form, they do not need to send a paper note with the student. School activity dismissals should not need to be noted through this form.

• IN THE EVENT OF A PLANNED TRIP,  please send an email to attendance@sfhs.com from the parent or guardian account (include student and parent first and last names) and specify the exact dates of the trip.
