Attendance:

  • Attendance is computerized and must be completed daily by 9:00 a.m.  The first bell rings at 7:45 a.m. and students are tardy if they are not seated in their classrooms when the second bell rings at 7:55 a.m.  If your child is going to be absent, please call as soon as possible; you may leave a message at 746-8730. 

 

  • Students may arrive as early as 7 a.m. for working parents if they are enrolled in the before and after care program.   Other students may arrive no earlier than 7:15 a.m. for breakfast.  If children do not eat breakfast, they may arrive at 7:30 a.m. and sit in the gym to be supervised until they are dismissed for class.

 

  • The Tulsa Public Schools auto-dialing system makes calls to parents/guardians at the home contact number on parents of absent or tardy children.  If you have not called to report your child's absence prior to the 9 a.m. cut off time, you will be contacted and receive a message from Tulsa Public Schools.  Please do not be alarmed by this automated service.  The auto-dialer will continue to contact you until a message has been left with you or your answering system.
