Attendance Procedures
Attendance Procedures
Please help Edgewood by getting your student to school/class on time.
- If your child is absent please call the attendance line at 574-371-5096 before 10:00 to report their absence, or contact Ashley G. at agiaudrone@warsawschools.org. A parent/guardian has to be the person to call the school, not the student. Please leave a message if we are unable to answer. We check the machine regularly. If we do not receive a phone call, your student will be marked unexcused for that day.
- Attendance phone calls are sent out at 11:00am daily. Please make sure your phone number in Powerschool is updated as this is the number that the system will use.
- Doctor Notes: Please turn them in to the attendance office so we can clear your student's attendance.
- Vacations: Please contact Ashley G. at least two weeks in advance if you are going to be missing three or more days due to vacation. There is a form that needs to be filled out and signed by teachers. Students will be given the assignments they will be missing for those days.
- Reminder: Students are allowed 10 parents and/or medically excused absences per school year. Each absence counts toward the limit of 10 absences as stated above. After the allowed day limit, each additional absence must be covered medically with a doctor's note to be excused.
Attendance and Truancy, Policy #5200
Students who attend school consistently and are on time develop better socially, establish better communications with their teachers, acquire important life habits such as dependability, self-sufficiency, and responsibility and have more success academically.
