ECE Student Attendance and Withdrawal Procedures
Please send all forms for Excessive Absences, e.g., Excessive Absenteeism Form, Attendance Warning Letters and Withdrawal Request, to the Early Childhood Office to hold for reference when communicating with families and support staff.
Please review the following information and supporting documents.
Attendance Warning Letter: used to document absences/tardiness and schedule a family meeting to address concerns (potential withdraw if parent refuses to cooperate)
Withdrawal Request Form: used if parent wishes to withdraw child (voluntary withdrawal) from the program and If a child needs to be withdrawn, due to following:
- Poor and non-attendance
- Student was enrolled but never attended
- Toileting Issues
Please forward information to
Estelle Morgan in the Early Childhood Office and cc
Dr. Paula Knight to proceed with withdrawal. ALL withdrawals occur in the ECE office.
All forms are to be used for children who are experiencing excessive absences, tardiness and/or need to be withdrawn from the program. Please continue completing these forms, as needed, and submit to Ms. Morgan/ECE Office once completed. If a parent becomes uncooperative and refuses to meet with you to address concerns, indicate attempts made on the Attendance Warning Letter and in SIS. The ECE Office will follow up with the parent. Please forward forms back to Ms. Morgan once completed with signatures, reasons for absences, dates etc.
Magnet schools: Magnet schools are allowed to withdraw children, per the Recruitment and Placement office. However, if a child is withdrawn, please send an email to
Lou Kruger/Estelle Morgan for reporting purposes. Once you complete forms, please forward to the classroom to maintain in students’ file. Also, forward copies to Ms. Morgan in order to maintain and track information.
Please remember ... We want our children to attend school every day, but there are times when unforeseen circumstances occur. When this happens, please stress to your parents the importance of their child attending school for academic growth and progress. When parents communicate to you when their child is going to be absent or late, it is critical to work closely with the building secretary to enter this required information into SIS. After you review this information and if further clarification is needed, please contact Ms. Morgan.
