Student Illness

Report a student illness absence: (513) 686-1707

Excused Absences

Students will be granted an excused absence for the following reasons:

  • Personal illness
  • Illness in the family
  • Religious reasons
  • Death in the family
  • Other reasons agreed upon by the home and school

Any student absent for personal illness or other excused reasons is responsible for contacting the teacher and completing make-up work on a schedule approved by the teacher.

Attendance Policy

  • A student may not miss more than 10% of any school year to participate in activities unless there has been an extended illness.
  • A student must be in school for at least half of a day to participate in extracurricular activities that day.
  • Excessive absence from school may result in withholding of credit, loss of driving privileges at the secondary level, or retention of a student at the elementary level.

Reporting Absences

Ohio law requires that parents call the school whenever a child is absent. Parents are asked to call their school’s attendance line on the morning of a student's absence.

Please call 513-686-1707 and follow the prompts to report your child's absence to the appropriate school building.
