We have updated our attendance reporting procedures for the new school
year. In the past we asked that parents send a note in with their
student upon returning to school from an absence. However, this has been
a cumbersome tracking process and led to several absences going
unexcused. We have set up an attendance extension for RMHS parents to
call and leave a recorded message notifying the school of their
student's absence. We are asking that parents call the school at
765-379-2551 extension 318 by 9:00 am on the day of their
student's absence and leave a message stating: their name, their
student's name, grade level, and the reason for the absence. Our
attendance secretary will beginning contacting parents after 9:00 am of
any student who has been marked absent and whose parent has not
notified us of this absence.
As
with any change to procedure, we understand there will take some time
to get used to this process. Thank you for understanding our need to
update this protocol.
