Parents

Parents should make every effort to have their child present in school each day.
Parents are required to keep a sick child home until that child:
- Has been fever free without medication for 24 hours
- Has not had an episode of vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours
- Is free from any contagious rash
Parents should contact the school by calling: 952-746-7760 ext. 5 or emailing attendance@eagleridgeacademy.org to inform the school of student absences no later than 8:00 a.m. on the day of the absence. This applies to absences, late arrivals, and early releases.
If missed work is wanted on the day of the absence, parents of K-5 students should contact their child’s teacher via email to arrange for make-up work and exams.
For an absence to be excused, parents need to fill out a Planned Absence Request Form (linked at top of page) if a student will be missing school due to vacation plans or an appointment.
Students leaving for a pre-excused appointment must be signed out in the office by a parent.
Students returning from a pre-excused appointment must be signed in at the office by a parent. They will then receive an office pass to return to class.
Students arriving to school late must be signed in at the office by a parent. When buses arrive late, students should go directly to their classroom.
Family vacations, although valuable, usually put a child behind academically if instructional days are missed. Vacations should be scheduled during regular school breaks. Please note that teachers may not be able to collect all assignments that may be missed and assignments may differ depending on the progress of the class.
