Student Absence

• It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to notify the school as early as possible in the morning if the child will be absent from school. Please email attendance@mlca.us to let us know your student will be absent. If there is no communication from the parent/guardian by 8:15 a.m., an attempt will be made by MLCA secretaries to contact the parent/guardian to learn the reason for the absence.  It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to email or call indicating the reason for the absence. A determination will then be made as to whether the absence is excused or unexcused.
  

• If you know your child will be missing school it is beneficial to the students and the teachers to pre-arrange the absence and coordinate how the missed work will be made up. There is now an "Application for Pre-Arranged Absence" form that you can fill out to make this request. Parent’s are asked to submit a form for each child. For Elementary parents, please submit form to office and office will submit to teacher. For Secondary, the student will take form to each teacher to fill out for homework and then present to secondary office.
