#NFHSCoachoftheYear

Parents and Guardians,
Please notify the school within 48 hours if your student is absent by calling the attendance line 541-663-3504 or texting the text only attendance line 541-975-3238. Please state the reason for the absence. Messages can be left 24 hours a day. You are welcome to inform your student’s teacher, but the office must be notified for the absence to be excused.
Absences longer than three days require a doctor’s note to be excused. For planned absences of more than three days, prearranged absence forms are available in the main office and should be completed in advance. Students with unexcused absences may be subject to the county’s truancy ordinance.
If you have any questions, please call 541-663-3504. Thank you for your cooperation.
