You may send your child's note to 0041attendance@dadeschools.net.

The only excused absences are illness, doctor’s or dentist’s appointment, death in the family, religious holidays or school related activities.

Absences from class for reasons other than those named above are considered unexcused and work cannot be made up.

Every absence should be followed by a note from the parent or doctor explaining the nature of the absence. If the illness is highly contagious, please notify school staff. 

When a student is absent for two consecutive days, the school should be contacted by phone to explain the reason for the absence. 

Any student who accumulates ten (10) or more unexcused absences in a given grading period may be subject to the withholding of grades, pending an Attendance Review Committee Conference to review all absences. This may affect promotion to the next grade.  Your child’s ten or more unexcused absences and/or tardies may lead to placement on Probation.
