⚠️ New Attendance Policy Reminder/Recordatorio de la nueva política de asistencia

To ensure all student records remain accurate and up-to-date, absences must be excused within 72 hours (3 school days). The attendance office can no longer clear or excuse absences after this 3-day window has passed.

Para garantizar que todos los registros de los estudiantes sean precisos y estén actualizados, las ausencias deberán justificarse en un plazo de 72 horas (3 días escolares). La oficina de asistencia ya no podrá autorizar ni justificar ausencias una vez transcurrido este plazo de 3 días.
