Attendance Line: 403-777-6034 ext. 1.

Every day your child will be absent or late, we do expect a call to the office before 9 am on our 24-hour absence line included above. You may call anytime of the day or night to leave a message, whenever it is most convenient for you.

Absences

Please continue to call in any absences to the school. Accurate attendance is needed, please provide a reason for your child's absence (ex: medical appointment, or ill). Without a reason, the absence is marked unexcused. It is important that we know why your student is not attending school and this information is in MyCBE accurately.

Please ensure that your child is dressed for the weather (including snow pants), as this supports a productive play during recess.

Important Information Regarding Attendance for TLC Students

TLC students are to attend school regularly. Missing more than 10% (18+ days) of the school year is considered significant. The reasons for the absences do not matter. A student who is not in school is not learning. Any time a student is not in school they are considered absent, these absences are calculated into a student's data pull when analyzing data. If needed, an Attendance Improvement Plan will be implemented.

Missing school at the end of the school year (June) and the beginning of the school year (September and/or October) has impact to the school's funding. As an Alternative Program after a discussion with parents, your student may be unenrolled at the Alternative Program (program of choice) to allow for another student from the waitlist to be added to the schools roster, thus receiving funding for all students.

Student funding is primarily used to purchase human resources to support all students at the school. These human resources include but are not limited to the following positions: Teachers, Interventionist, Education Assistants, English as an Additional Language Assistants, and/or School Assistants. All of these positions provide support to students within the school.
