Withow University High School Expectations:
Attendance Policy
Students are expected to be at school every day they are able. Absences should be limited to serious illness and family or legal emergencies. Dental appointments and other routine medical treatments should be scheduled outside of school hours. Absences are classified as excused or unexcused according to district attendance policies and procedures. Upon the student's return to school, he/she should bring a signed note from a parent or guardian stating:
- The student's name
- Detailed reason for the absence
- Date(s) the student was absence
- Date the note was written
- Contact number of the parent
- Parent or guardian signature
Parents and guardians may also call the attendance hotline at (513) 363-9219 to report their student(s) absences only. Voice mail messages are checked daily and parents may be called to confirm message. Please do not call the attendance line to request and early dismissal or announce that a student will be late for school. Instead, please call main office directly.
