Attendance

We encourage students to be at school on time EVERY day. Regular attendance is essential to a student’s success in school. Students receive the full benefit of classroom instruction only when they attend on a regular basis. Bell times are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 9:15 a.m. – 3:40 p.m. and Wednesday 9:15 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. The first bell rings 5 minutes before the beginning of school. A student is tardy if they are not inside the classroom by 9:15 a.m.

When you know your child is not going to be at school due to illness, religious observances or family emergencies, please call 425-837-5500 or email CaAttendance@issaquah.wednet.edu to report the absence. If you receive a phone message that your child is absent and you believe your child to be at school, please email your child's teacher and the attendance office.
