We remind you of the importance of contacting the school each time your child is late or absent during the school day. This proactive approach allows our secretarial staff to efficiently monitor attendance, and we are required by the Ministry of Education to provide a reason for absence.<\/p>\n

If your child needs to leave during school hours, please write a note authorizing him or her to leave. You can send an email toegauthier@csdcab.on.ca<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Compulsory schooling<\/u><\/strong> :<\/strong> Students who have reached the age of 6 must attend school until they are 18 or until they graduate.\u00a0<\/p>

School staff responsibilities<\/u><\/strong> : <\/strong>The school maintains a daily register of all students' absences and reasons for absence through Aspen. According to B009-P School attendance<\/em><\/a>For each absence, there is communication between the school and the home. Where applicable, original supporting documentation from the physician must be retained for two years in the student's Ontario Student Record (OSR). At the end of each month, the principal or designate reviews student attendance data in Aspen. Together with school staff, the principal takes a critical look at each student to identify those at risk. Once recurrent absences have been identified, the next steps are documented using the B009-F1 Managing absences or late arrivals <\/em>and stored in the student's DSO.<\/p>

Prolonged absences<\/u><\/strong> :\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

If you expect your child to be absent for an extended period of time (e.g., sporting events such as field hockey tournaments and dance competitions, or travel), you must inform the school so that the principal can fill out the school exemption form.<\/p>
