PICTURE DAY
MONDAY, September 27th will be picture day at Genesee Schools! We will be doing individual pictures, class groups and High School Fall Sports. Order forms will be sent home with students soon so be watching. *There is one form for individual pictures, and a separate form for the class group picture if you choose to purchase.
*Please complete separate order packets for EACH child in your home and include payment. This is the best way to insure your order is handled properly. Additionally, correct change, or check for the amount of purchase needs to be handled at home. The office is not equipped to make change for 300 picture packets and we will not cash checks.
Attendance Reminder
Just a reminder: With the shortened number of attendance days for this school year, there is also a reduction in the number of absences a student may accrue. Elementary students may miss a total of 16 absences in the school year (it was 18 prior). Secondary students can miss only 8 days a semester before credit "may" be denied. Only the school board can deny credit for excessive absences. Students will come up for review by the attendance committee once 8 absences have accrued, and prior to any recommendation to the board. *Parents please keep in mind that if your student is absent for injury or illness due to a doctor's order, providing that information to the office is very important for attendance review. ALL absences count (other than school approved field trip). But should your child come before the attendance committee, medical documentation can help support the need for excessive absences, and thus keep a student from credit denial.
