Attendance
Students are expected to be in attendance each day school is in session. If a student is unable to attend classes, parents must notify the Millennium office by calling 532-3150 by 8:30 a.m. Millennium is equipped with Voice Mail so you may leave a message between 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. You only need to call 532-3150. If you need to report an absence, after the beep leave your child's name, room number, teacher's name, and reason for absence. If you fail to contact the school, we will contact you to verify your child's absence. VACATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED UNEXCUSED ABSENCES.

TARDINESS
Students are expected to arrive at school on time. If your child is tardy, he/she is missing a very important part of the curriculum. If your child is going to be late, please call the school office. When you bring your child to school, please come into the office and sign your child in.

SCHOOL BOARD POLICY 500.25 - SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL
No student shall be permitted on school grounds more than ten (10) minutes before or after the regular school day for students, except when participating in a school-sponsored activity or when on school grounds due to the early arrival or late departure of a school bus to which the student is assigned.

VACATIONS

Kirby School District 140 strongly encourages families to take vacations during school non-attendance times.  In the event your child will be absent from school due to a vacation, the absence will be considered unexcused.  Upon their return to school, they will receive information on missed assignments and class work/homework.  Any work missed due to vacations will not be included in the child’s grade average.

Teachers are not expected to re-teach material missed during the unexcused time away from school.  We consider the time spent in the classroom essential to the overall educational experience.  While we understand that there are occasions students must miss school due to family obligations, we ask that you help us in our mission to emphasize the value of education by making sure your child’s absence from school is kept to a minimum.
