ATTENDANCE
Illness/Absence:
On days your child is ill or is not going to be at school, please call the Attendance Office so we can keep the attendance record accurate. The phone number is 785-330-2503 or send an email to FSAttendance@usd497.org

Appointment/Early Pickup:
When your child has an appointment, we ask that you call in no later than two (2) hours before the appointment whenever possible. The same applies to parents needing to pick up their child early from school.

Student Passes:
Students who have an appointment scheduled during the school day need to come to pick up their off-campus pass from the Attendance Office between classes whenever possible. This limits classroom interruptions while ensuring students get their pass to leave on time.
