Regular attendance and punctuality at school are very important in helping your child derive full benefit from the instructional program. Our school is primarily supported by state funding, which is based on Average Daily Attendance (ADA), not enrollment. Every day a child is absent (without being on Independent Study) costs the school. Therefore, your child must attend school regularly. Please plan your family vacations, holidays, etc., during school breaks. If your child is ill, call the school office to report the absence. Inform the office staff of the date(s) of absence, reasons for absence, and grade. Students must stay home for 24 hours after having vomited, diarrhea, or fever. If your child will be tardy to school due to pre-scheduled appointments, please notify the school office so he/she is not marked absent.
Children who arrive late should report to the Office first before going to class.
Absence Reporting
Please email attendance@novatocharterschool.org to report an absence.
