ATTENDANCE – what to do when your child is absent
For your child’s absence to be excused, you must phone in first thing in the morning to the school office 812-398-3851 or email cking@swest.k12.in.us. Also, send in a doctor’s excuse upon return (if they went to a doctor, dentist, etc.). Emailing your teacher is fine as a courtesy to the teacher but the office needs to be called so they can be excused.
