Lindop District 92 Information for Pre-K Parents Pre-K Attendance Criteria Lindop School District is dedicated to providing a Pre-Kindergarten Program to the young learners in our community free of charge to help ensure a strong start to their education. Your continued support in this matter will be greatly appreciated. ATTENDANCE POLICY If a Pre-K child is absent without a doctor's excuse for more than three days in a row or consistently maintains below 85% attendance per month, the teacher will notify the building principal of Lindop School. The parent will receive a Warning Letter. If a fifth unexcused absence occurs, or the student's attendance remains under the required 85% for any two months, the principal will send a Withdraw Letter informing the family that the child is being withdrawn from the Lindop Pre-Kindergarten Program. At that time, the open slot will be filled with a child from the community who is on the waiting list. The following are acceptable reasons for excused absences: 1. The child is hospitalized 2. The child is incapacitated due to a serious injury 3. The child contracts a communicable disease (virus or flu) 4. The child has other health related ailments which prevent attendance (such as asthma) 5. There is a death in the family 6. Limited medical/dental/therapy appointments (these should be made around school hours unless absolutely necessary) Because funding for this program is provided by the state, guidelines require this program to maintain an 85% attendance rate. In order to meet that requirement, the Lindop School District must keep the average daily attendance as close to the enrollment as possible. A call should be made to the school to excuse any child's absence for each day. Upon return, the parent should submit a written excuse and return it to school within one day.
