[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 573580, member: 11791"] We're in the middle. Elementary school... parent in person, please. At least until grade 7, where it depends on the principal and the neighborhood. For younger kids, it's definitely appropriate to be very cautious. HS? They don't even need a note. But... every absence (i.e. missed class) results in a call home, if the absence has not been pre-cleared to the attendence desk by a parent/guardian... and then you have 24 hours (weekends don't count) to call in and clear it, IF it is "approved". They track the numbers being called from - and you either talk in person or leave a voicemail and they call back. Not too bad for convenience. Most of our HS kids provide their own transportation (public bus, bike, walk, drive). A small proportion get a ride with parents - for example, that kid who plays Tuba... well, they won't even LET him on the city bus at "rush hour" because that doggone tuba takes too much room...
