ABSENCE

When an illness occurs, parents are asked to call the school office (708-246-7590) or email mjhattendance@d101.org by 8:15 a.m. to report an absence. If no call has been received, the office staff will attempt to contact parents using phone numbers and emails provided on the parent emergency form. The “Absence Line” may be accessed if you call the school office, and no one is available to answer your call.

MID-DAY PICKUP REQUESTS

In the event a student needs to leave school early for an appointment, he/she must bring a note from the parent/guardian to the front office before 8:10am in exchange for a pass at the specific time to return to the main office. If a student is to be picked up during a passing period, a note and pass are NOT required; the student will simply take ownership of arriving in the office during that passing period for pick-up. It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to notify the school of the student’s absence prior to the start of school on the day of the absence. With efficiency goals and avoidance of classroom disturbance in mind, the front office will not make a practice of calling to interrupt a class in session.

VACATION

Prearranged absences (three days or more) are to be approved prior to family vacations or business trips. Student request forms can be obtained from the office.
