3rd tardy counts as 1 day unexcused absence. 
*Every 3 tardies to school will count as another unexcused absence. 
For example: 6 tardies = 2 unexcused days; 9 tardies = 3 unexcused days, etc.
REGISTRATION: 
Students enrolling at Pioneer Elementary are to report to the school’s office. New students must show proof of address, birth certificate, 
shot records and a social security card. Parents will be asked to complete an enrollment sheet, medical forms, Internet form, pay 
textbook rental fees, and make provisions for obtaining records from previous school (if applicable). 
WITHDRAWAL: 
Should a student withdraw from Pioneer Elementary School, the parent/guardian should notify the school’s office in advance. The 
school will notify the parent of any charges that are outstanding. Records will be sent to the forwarding school upon receipt of the 
student’s enrollment at that school.
VISITORS: 
For the safety and protection of our students, all visitors (including parents) are required to report to the office when arriving at school.
All visitors should report to the main door. With the exception of morning arrival, all other doors will remain locked during school hours. 
DAILY ABSENCE: 
If a student is absent from school, his/her parent should telephone the school to report the absence. All calls to school must be made 
prior to 8:30 a.m. on the day the student is absent. Parents may leave a voicemail message on the school’s answering system after 
4:00 p.m. and prior to 7:15 a.m. regarding attendance issues. If no call or message is received and/or the attendance secretary 
initiates the call to parents, the absence will be unexcused. Only those parents who have no access to a phone are required to send 
a note in with their other child that very day or with their child when he/she returns from an absence. 
Students absent from school for more than one and one-half hours but less than four hours shall be considered absent for one-half 
day. Students absent from school for more than four hours shall be considered absent from school for the entire day. 
Excessive absence from school will be taken into consideration when determining student’s promotion or retention. 
School attendance is required for all children between the ages of 7 and 16 if an exit interview requirement is met; otherwise 18.
