Attendance Procedures

Parents/guardians will no longer call to report student absences.  Every parent/guardian will receive an attendance call when their child has been marked absent.  The parent/guardian will then be asked to send a written documentation of the reason for the absence with their child when they return to school. 

  • GFMS students will give the note to their homeroom teacher
  • Elementary students will give the note to their teacher

For Carmel High School:

  • Please send all attendance notes to the Main Office by the end of 1st period the day the student returns to school.
  • All early dismissal notes need to be submitted to the Main Office by the end of 1st period on the day of the early dismissal.
