Claypool Elementary School

Please help us by getting your student to school/class on time.

• If your child is absent please call the attendance line at 574-566-2300 to report their absence. Please leave a message if we are unable to answer. We check the machine regularly.
• Need to leave for an appointment? Please call 574-566-2300 at least 1/2 hour before your student needs to leave. This gives us enough time to inform the student and the teacher.
• Doctor Notes: Please turn them into the attendance office so we can clear your student's attendance.
• Reminder: Students are limited to 10 parent and/or medically excused absences per year. Each absence counts toward the limit of 10 absences as stated above. After the allowed limit, each additional absence must be covered medically with a doctor’s note to be excused.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact the office. 

Attendance and Truancy, Policy #5200 Students who attend school consistently and are on time develop better socially, establish better communications with their teachers, acquire important life habits such as dependability, self-sufficiency, and responsibility and have more success academically.
