Ralph Bunche Attendance Policy

In order for your child to benefit from the Head Start program, daily attendance is important! It is your responsibility to notify the Ralph Bunche Center if your child is sick or if your family is planning to move from the area. Motivate your child to attend daily.

If your child has trouble separating from you, school is a good experience to help your child become more self-confident and independent. The following procedures will take place when your child is absent;

  1. A record of daily absences is maintained on each child.
     
  2. Call us when your child is absent.
     
  3. We are required to contact you when your child is absent for 3 or more
    consecutive days.
     
  4. Staff will provide necessary assistance to the parents in getting the child back to school.
     
  5. Excessive absence will result in termination from the program. Head Lice can be successfully treated in less than 3 days. Continued absence will be considered “excessive”.
     
  6. The most common illnesses that require a child to be absent are: diarrhea / vomiting fever / rash / coughing / contagious disease.
     
  7. If your child becomes sick at school or is checked “positive” for Head Lice, you are required to come to the center to take your child home.
