In order for students to realize their fullest potential from educational efforts, they should attend all classes if possible. Under Oklahoma state law, If a child is absent without a valid excuse four or more days or parts of day within a four week period, the school shall report such absences to the School Resource Officer/ District Attorney. Please keep this in mind when bringing students late or checking them out early without a valid excuse. Examples of valid, excused absences are medical appointments, counseling appointments, and dental appointments. These parts of days missed without a valid excuse count toward absences that should be reported to the School Resource Officer/ District Attorney's office. Thank you for your continued support.
