I called my child off today at Grigsby and the High School. I didnt want to drive in this crap. I looked at Skyward and they have them both excused with the one at Grisby saying weather was the reason and the one at the high school saying sick and I said the same thing to both schools.
That being said.... I had problems with the attendance lady when my child had surgery. The dr gave the okay for my child to go back to school but my child was in pain, so I kept them home. I went to the school and talked to the lady in person, she was a real jerk to me!!! Oh and the reason my child had surgery, was because of something that happened at the school!
Also, it used to be you could call your child off for a doctors appt. but now you have to have a dr notice. I dont feel like (or I forget) to ask the dr for a note every time I go. So, now, if my child has a dr appt, I call them off sick!!!!
