5 STUDENTS LEAVING EARLY: If you know that your child will be leaving early for an appointment or going out of town etc. we ask that you call ahead of time and preferably before the day starts so we can get them a pass at the beginning of the day. This way it cuts down on the amount of disruptions we have in the classroom during the day! We will get your student a pass and they will meet you in the office at the time requested. We do ask that you come in and sign your student out! Thank you for your help! Memorial Office Hours: 7:30am 4:30pm ATTENDANCE LINE When calling in absences for the day or in advance we ask that you use our attendance line. It is available 24/7 and it is very quick and convenient. We ask that you leave your students name, grade and reason for absence. We thank you for your help in keeping the office lines open! Attendance Line: Fax:
