Attendance

Reporting a Student Absence

If your student will not be in school today, please notify the RJH Attendance line by calling 425-936-2441 before 9:30 AM. Please do not send e-mail. Please leave the following information listed below:

Student's name (spell the last name slowly). Your relationship to the student. Most importantly, the reason for the absence.

If circumstances prevent you from calling on the day of your student's absence, please send a signed note with your child on the day of his/her return, indicate the date(s) of the absence and the reason.

Absences not called in, must be cleared within two days or it may be considered truant/unexcused.

Reporting a Late Arrival

If your student will be arriving late to school due to a medical appt or other "excused" reason (see Parent Handbook and/or Student Agenda for more information about excused and unexcused absences), please call the Attendance line at 425-936-2441. We appreciate calls before 9:30AM.

Reporting an Early Dismissal

If your student will be leaving school early due to an appointment, please call the Attendance line at 425-936-2441 in the morning (student name, relation to the student, time and reason) so we may send a pass to your student. You can also have the student bring a note signed by the parent/guardian to the Attendance Office before school.

Students may sign themselves out and wait outside unless your note or message indicated that the student is to wait in the office or that a specific person(s) will be coming to pick up the student. In the latter case, the student will only be released to the person(s) indicated.


Pre-Arranged/Long-Term Absence Form

If you know in advance that your student will be absent for more than 3 days, please print and complete the RJH Long-term/Pre-arranged absence form and submit it to the Attendance office as soon as possible. Please print the Homework request form and have your student show this form to each his/her teacher to receive any homework that will be missed. Any absences must be cleared with the Attendance office.

Homework Request

If your student has been absent and need to request homework for pick-up, please call the Attendance line in the morning and request homework for your student or by directly emailing the teacher(s).

For additional information, please refer to the Parent Handbook and/or Student Agenda for more information about Excused and Unexcused Absences or call the main office at 425-936-2440.

Thank you for your support.
