Hunter Safety registration is now closed as both classes are full.
Attendance is essential to student success. Students at Alexander School are allotted 15 days of absences (excused & unexcused). Students who miss due to doctor's appointments are asked to bring a doctor's note so that those absences do not count in the 15 days of absences. We do this to encourage parents to seek the treatment their children need. Excused and unexcused absences are differentiated by a phone call from parents or guardians. High school students who miss more than the allotted 15 days are in danger of losing credit for graduation and elementary students who miss more than 15 days risk being retained due to missing essential instructional time. Administration will consider special circumstances with communication from parents/guardians. Please be sure to call or send a note when your child will not be in school, without notification students will be marked unexcused and have to make up that missed time. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter because your children being in school is important. Your input is needed in regard to next year's school calendar. Please take the survey using the link below. You can also find the link on our app, social media, and website.
