Just a reminder about excused absences. When students are absent, in order to have that absence excused, parents or guardians must provide a signed excusal note within 3 days of returning to school, notes can be submitted in paper form or electronically. Excusal notes received from doctors are automatically excused. Our attendance policy can be found on the Pennell web site and in the Pennell Handbook.

Please remember to have your clearances updated and on file if you are visiting the school. As spring approaches, field trips may be on the horizon. Updated clearances are needed for any chaperones. Also remember to have a valid ID to present if visiting Pennell. Mrs. Howley and Mrs. Grosso in the front office are more than happy to assist and let you know if you have up-to-date clearances on file.
