What excuses a tardy in APS?

[Anonymous]

I looked on the website but can’t find any info. Can I write a note for my child explaining that it was for a medical reason? Or do we need a doctor’s note? Do tardies matter for anything?

You can just say it was a medical reason or dr appt or whatever. But if you say medical reason, make sure you specify that it was not illness related or you may get a call from the clinic.

Thank you! I write this in a note or just tell them when I drop her off?

Don't know about MS/HS but I think the elementary schools have a dedicated attendance email. I email attendance@ to notify and explain the absence or tardy.

Thank you! Yes, it turns out that’s what I was supposed to do. I will know next time!
