Students and parents are responsible for monitoring attendance closely. Attendance can be tracked online through the Aspire SIS program.
Absences should be excused through the attendance office within 5 days of the absence and follow guidelines as outlined in the policy PD below. Students must check out through the attendance office when leaving school resulting in class time being missed. Failure to do so will result in an unexcused absence(s) require Canvas module completion or detention.
Please carefully read the full attendance policy below. Thank you for your cooperation.

Attendance Policy
Students who miss school for an entire day for any cause must have their parent/guardian call the school to excuse the full-day absence within five school days following the full-day absence. Failure to have a full-day absence excused will result in an unexcused absence and subsequent consequences.
Legitimate absences are defined by the Murray City Board of Education as:
- Personal illness of pupil (principal may require a note from a valid physician)
- Serious illness or death of a member of the family
- Grave emergencies demanding the help of the pupil at home
- Unavoidable delays or failure of transportation
- Other circumstances that in the judgment of the principal constitute a justifiable absence from school and for which arrangements have been made with the principal in advance
