Attendance

Students arriving to school late must:

• Sign in at the Attendance Office and obtain a pass before going to class.
   
• A parent/guardian email or phone call is required within 72 hours of the late arrival or the student will continue to be marked unexcused.

Students who miss more than fifteen (15) minutes of class are marked "absent."

​Please email ihsattendance@nsd.org, call in the night before or the morning of, or bring a signed note by parent/guardian to the attendance office prior to the dismissal time. In order to prevent disruption of class time, parents should avoid last minute early dismissals.  

All early dismissal passes are to be picked up by the student before school or during their break time. This helps minimize classroom disruptions and valuable learning time that occurs when a runner is required to deliver a pass to your student in the classroom during the school day. It also allows your student to be ready to leave on his or her own or be available for parents/guardians to pick up at the specified time. 

It is understandable that there are times a student must be released early for an appointment or emergency that the parent/guardian was unaware of in time to send a note in the morning with their student. In these instances, it is advisable to contact the Attendance Office as soon as possible at 425-408-7210. If we do not answer, please email or leave a voicemail.

1.  Absence or late arrival: To avoid discipline, please remember to have a parent/guardian call or email attendance WITHIN 72 HOURS of the absence/late arrival. Absence = Missing 15 minutes or more of class time.

2.  Early dismissal: Call in the morning or bring a note to the attendance office prior to the dismissal time. In order to prevent disruption of class time, parents should avoid last minute early dismissals.

3.  Always sign in and sign out at the attendance office if arriving late or leaving early.

4.  Any student wanting to leave school early due to illness must check out through the school nurse, not the Attendance office.

5.  Parents are unable to excuse “on campus” absences. Example: You miss class because you are testing with another teacher. This type of absence can only be cleared by that teacher.

6. If a student’s absence remains unexcused after 72 hours, the student will be assigned discipline for the first unexcused absence.  A second unexcused absence will result in an Attendance Contract.
