Attendance

  • Attendance is an essential component to a student’s academic success. The process of education requires instruction that is based on skill building, class participation, learning experiences and study. All schools in our district have an attendance goal of 98%.

    In order to meet that goal, we will be closely monitoring student absences. While we do not want students coming to school sick, we also want to make sure that every effort is made to ensure students are here when they are healthy.

    If your student does need to be absent from school due to illness, family emergency, vacation, etc., please make sure to report the absence on the school Attendance Line by calling 847-888-6995 or emailing ottercreekattendance@u-46.org.  Leave your student's name, teacher, and reason for their absence.
