[QUOTE="Andy, post: 467471, member: 5096"] He did go back into he building and went straight to the nurse's office to call me. He did not go back to the teacher and did not get a pass from the teacher to go to the nurses office. He felt the teacher would deny his request so he just didn't return to class with the other kids. I don't think the nurse knew that he was going to then leave the building again. She may have thought he was on his way back to class. He then left the building and was in the wooded area searching for the phone when I arrived. I find that once kids leave the elementary world, they are not kept tracked of as well in the high school world. The teacher would have noticed he did not return to class and marked him as absent to be determined at a later date and by the office how to deal with it - the teacher does not get involved in disciplinary actions for attendance or lack there of. I always have my kids leave school between classes if I need to pick them up so the teachers will not know why a kid has not come to class - they just get marked as not being in the class. I don't want my kid to be watching the clock and walking out in the middle of an instruction so I make sure they leave between classes. Each teacher has over 100 kids come through their doors each day (25 kids per class X atleast 5 or 6 classes each day). Unless there is a specific request for the office to be notified of an abscense, they will not be spending their time notifying the office at the start of each class as to who is missing. I doubt that parents will be notified unless it becomes a problem (say 3 unexcused absenses or whatever they decide the indication would be). If I had not come to help with the phone or make sure he signed in letting the school know that I was aware of the absence, I don't know how/if I would have been notified of the unexcused absense. Would the school have taken action on it and asked him what caused it or would they wait until I saw it on the computer reports (not all parents keep up with that and I don't always pay attention to that detail) or hopefully a report card to try to figure it out which could be days or weeks later? difficult child may also have told me about it that evening after school. He is good about giving me heads up on certain things. It did show up today on the computer record as excused so I will not know. I suppose I could maybe find it in the school's disciplinary hand book? [/QUOTE]
