November 20, 2009 Entry 30
Yesterday Mrs. J informed me for the first time. That I have a very high absent count. In some classes I have 9 so getting a little close. This was the 1st time I had heard of it. Even on PowerSchool they are wrong. The main cause was the 4 day week I was gone for being sick. I never went to the doctor, but we did call them. Anyway, that week added up to be 32 absents. And plus being gone for some little reason. It adds up quick. But still if the school was going to do this they probably should have started when I hit 5 absents like they are suppose to. Or even when my mom was calling in they could have said that I was getting up there and should get some doctor slips. But instead nothing, nada. Now my mom is freaking and is trying to get as many doctor notes she can. If I miss any more school between now and January 15 I'm in some trouble.

Wow! That's a lot!
ReplyDeleteThat does seem kind of crazy that your mom would have to call and get doctor's notes. As a parent, I can see how that would be really frustrating. My son goes to Nixon elementary in Cedar Rapids. If he is missing or absent they call you the day of. It's probably a bit easier in a bigger school because they have more than one secretary; that way they can divide the workload. Sometimes I feel a bit sorry for Barb because she has so much to keep track of!
