[quote=Anonymous]Well this is one of those live and learn mistakes. The teacher is not the school attendance officer- just because SHE knows your child won't be there doesn't mean administration does. And she probably assumed you knew that and would provide the school with the absence info. It's not her responsibility to do that for you. When your child is sick or going on a trip, you need to call it into the office. Your school may not robocall, but you still have to do it. If you can provide proof of illness and travel, they may change some of those to excused but they may not either. I know someone who is the school attendance officer and big gaps in attendance like this are red flags for the school. Although it's a pain in the butt for you personally, it is actually a very good sign they are pursuing this. It literally can mean the difference between saving a child's life or not if it enables them to uncover abuse or neglect or worse.[/quote]
