Dear Parents/Guardians,
Bossier Parish Schools has a new policy regarding parent notes and excused absences.
Parents/guardians may submit up to 5 parent notes per school year to excuse absences. Please use the official Bossier Parish Schools parent note template, available on the district website under Student and Parent Resources. This document is also on our R.V. Kerr website under "Attendance" and "Parent Note Template." We will also have the forms available in the office.
A parent note for a late check-in or early dismissal counts as one full day toward the 5-day limit. After the 5 parent-note days have been used additional absences will require medical, dental, or legal documentation to be excused.
All absence documentations MUST be submitted within 5 school days of the student returning to school. If documentation is not received within that time, the absence will be considered unexcused. Your student may bring in the note when he/she returns, or you may email it to ashlie.giles@bossierschools.org.
Thank you for helping us keep our attendance records accurate and up to date!
