Daily attendance is an important aspect of academic achievement. Additionally, arriving on-time to school and ready to learn is also a critical variable toward academic success. When students arrive late to school, students/parents are expected to sign in at the front office. Students will record their tardy through our Skyward kiosk.  This kiosk will document the student's tardiness and be recorded as UNEXCUSED.  It is the parents responsibility to provide additional information on the day of the tardy that would allow our attendance officers to change the unexcused tardy to excused.  For example, a medical appointment or family emergency may be changed to an excused tardy or absence. Excessive unexcused tardies will result in written notification by the school district and may result in a truancy citation.

Prairie View Elementary School uses the school notification system SchoolMessenger for attendance calls. The families of students whose absences have not been verified by 8:00 am with a parent/guardian, will receive an automated phone call placed to primary phone and parent/guardian cell phone numbers listed in Skyward-Skylert.  

Pre-arranged absence forms are available if you know your child will be absent in advance. .  The necessary permission and signature(s) are to be obtained and turned into the office at least 72 hours prior to proposed absence.  If you have pre-arranged your child's absence, it is not necessary to call the office.

Attendance and truancy policies are available in the Student Informational Book.

Standards specify what all students should know and be able to do.

• Your child’s performance is measured against the standard, rather than simply being compared to other students in his or her class.
• It gives every child the opportunity to meet or exceed our district’s standards.
