Attendance Information

As daily attendance is a necessity for academic achievement, please understand that the following policies are in place with only the best interest of your student in mind.

  • If your student is absent due to an appointment, you can upload the excuse note directly into FOCUS (see instructions to the right). Alternatively, you may take a picture of the excuse note and email it to schsattendance@osceolaschools.net. 

 

  • If your student is absent due to illness/personal reasons, please email schsattendance@osceolaschools.net and type their full name and reason for absence. Students are allowed 10 excused absences per school year. Any further absences not excused by a competent medical provider will be unexcused and may result in failing grades for the work missed.

 

  • If a student needs to leave school prior to dismissal for an appointment, a parent or guardian listed in FOCUS must come in to sign student out at the front office. Early dismissals are not permitted within the last hour of the school day (1:05pm MTThF and 12:05pm W).

 

  • If a student is tardy to school or leaves school prior to dismissal, any classes missed will be marked as unexcused absences unless a medical note is provided.

 

  • Privileges such as field trips and events (Homecoming, Prom, Grad Bash, etc) as well as Parking Passes and Lunch Passes can be denied/revoked after more than 10 absences (excluding medical).

 

For attendance questions or concerns, please contact Jennifer Dabrowski at jennifer.dabrowski@osceolaschools.net or at 407-891-3100 and choose option #1 for the attendance line.
