If you child is out ill, please call the Northstar attendance line at 425.936.1760 x5. If your child is taking a high school class, you will also need to call the high school attendance line at 425.936.1701.  It is really important that you remember to call in your child's absences.

Northstar Junior High must follow the attendance  requirements required by Washington state. This applies to the BECCA Law. Please refer to the Northstar handbook for more information on the BECCA Law.  This law only pertains to unexcused absences. An absence is considered unexcused when a parent does not call or write a note excusing the absence.

For pre-arranged absences whether it be a family trip or scheduled medical appointment, please let the school know of your plans as soon as possible. If the student is to be out several days, we will make up an assignment sheet so s/he will not fall behind.  If we find a student missing a class at any time during the day, we will notify a parent.
