Students at Lake Vista are expected to attend regularly and arrive at school on time. Being punctual is a life-long skill and should be developed early. When students are late, classroom routines for all students are disrupted. Teachers become concerned for students’ safety when students are not in their classroom when attendance is taken and the teacher doesn’t know where they are. Students who develop a pattern of late arrival to classes or absenteeism will be brought to the attention of the office. Contact with home will take place and an action plan will be developed to support families. Should the problem continue, school administration is required to seek support from the division attendance officer.
Please use the following procedure when reporting your child’s absence or tardiness:
- Please enter all absences (including appointments) on Edsby.
- If your student is going to be late, please enter it on Edsby. Once they arrive at school, please have them check in at the office for a late slip.
If we do not receive notice, parents will be notified on Edsby.
