What should I do if my child is absent from school?

Upon returning to school you should send in a note explaining why your 
child was absent. You have 3 days or the absence will be considered 
unexcused.  The note should be handed in to Ms. Marcus. Please 
refer to your Parent Handbook regarding excused absences.  You may 
also find what constitutes an excused absence here:
