Attendance Policy

Reporting Absences or Tardies

When contacting the attendance office (608-743-6230), please speak slowly and begin by spelling the child's last name. Then give the first name, the grade, and the reason for absence. If the child's name is hyphenated, please spell both names.  You may also report absences by using Infinite Campus under Absence Request Processing or by emailing Marshall Attendance 

Signing Students Out

School policies require that ALL students be signed out through the attendance office. Students will be released only to parents or people identified on the emergency card. In addition, students will be instructed to meet an awaiting parent in the Attendance Office (this applies to pre-arranged appointments as well). NO student will be allowed to leave school to walk or ride a bike home or to an appointment. 

While we are aware this requires a little extra time and effort, your student's safety is our primary concern. Thank you for understanding that there will be no exceptions to this policy.
