Every Day Counts!

Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Absences and tardiness impact the whole classroom.  Please review this beginning of year attendance presentation.  Students must be at school by 7:45a or they will be marked tardy.  If a student arrives past 9:45a they will be marked absent for the day.

Please send in documentation of student absences either in written physical form, email the campus attendance clerk(information listed below), or fill out a school absence note via this form.  Please select either K-2nd Blazier Primary or 3rd-6th Blazier Intermediate on the dropdown based on your child's grade level.

We DO NOT accept phone calls or voicemail messages as documentation for a student's absence.

 

What to do if your student is late:

  • When you arrive to Blazier Primary(K-2) or Blazier Intermediate(3rd-6th) past 7:45a you must park and get off to check your child in to school in the main office.

What to do if your student must leave school early:

  • When you arrive to Blazier Primary(K-2) or Blazier Intermediate(3rd-6th) to pick up your child, please be prepared with your photo I.D. Your child will be called to the office and provided with a permit to leave campus.

  • Students will not be released after 2:30p.

Families may not realize how quickly absences can add up to academic trouble, and staying engaged with your child’s school data is a key component to staying on top of chronic absenteeism.
