Absences...

If your child is absent, please call the office attendance line to report it.  I am happy to get your son or daughter's work together.  You can choose to pick it up after school or have me send it home with another student.

The attendance line is 309-452-1218
Some Tips...

Back to 4H

  • If you know you are going to be gone ahead of time, I can try to get your child's assignments gathered together for you.
  • All tests will be given on the day your child returns if s/he was present for the review.  (For example, if a study guide was sent home on Wednesday and Betty Sue is absent on Thursday, she will make up the test on Friday unless I receive a note from the parent or guardian asking for an extension.) 
  • Your child will have as many days as he or she was gone to make up the missed work.
  • Much of what we do is "in-class" work involving lecture, discussion, group work, etc.  Missing school should be avoided whenever possible.  With that said, keep in mind...
  • Students should be fever-free (without Tylenol or Motrin) for 24 hours before being sent back to school.
  • Students who go home with a fever or who have had vomiting or diarrhea , should not be at school the next day.
  • If you follow these guidelines you will help your child return to health faster, and the rest of us will stay healthy, too!
