Report your Child Absent or Tardy

If your child is going to be absent for any reason, please notify the school, either via the form below or via e-mail office@smswaterford.org as soon as you can. 

Please keep your child home if:

  • He or she has a fever of 100°F or higher. To return to school he or she must be below 100°F for 24 hours without medication.
  • He or she has vomited during the evening or night.
  • He or she has a condition that may be contagious (such as pink eye or strep throat).
Please contact the health office with a positive diagnosis from your child's doctor. They may return to school after being on medication for 24 hours or otherwise stated by a physician.

When the student returns to school he or she must have a written excuse signed by the parent or guardian. While we understand that many absences cannot be prevented, we ask that all of our families try to discourage any lengthy absences while school is in session. If your son or daughter is going to be tardy, please report that information to us as well.
