Attendance

View attendance policies

If your student needs to leave school early (for any reason), they must go to the Attendance Office to pick up a pass before leaving campus! (The Attendance Office does not deliver notes.) Parents must either call 425-936-1701, write a note to excuse their student, or email: lwhs-attendance@lwsd.org
 
  • Pre-arranged absence form Please complete this form if your student will be missing two or more school days. PARENTS AND STUDENTS: It is important that you understand that an extended absence from school places the student at a disadvantage in meeting course requirements. Our teachers will attempt to provide appropriate assignments in as much as is practical; however, in many cases it will be impossible to replicate or replace instruction that a student has missed. Teachers are not required to provide all class assignments before student leaves.

Because regular attendance is both an expectation and a critical component of student success, parents/guardians of students with excessive excused absences in a semester will be expected to contact our Becca Specialist Sandy Hearn at 425-936-1738 and provide documentation to verify the "excessive excused" absences.

Becca Bill: As mandated by State Law, students who accumulate 5 unexcused absences in 30 days or 10 unexcused absences in a school year will be referred to the King County Juvenile Court System.
