Platt is excited about the Haughton Community Spirit Day! Platt students may wear a Haughton shirt/jersey, Haughton cheer uniform, or a Bossier Parks jersey. Please no helmets, pad, etc.
Your child's attendance each day is very valuable to their education. Our POP Team (Power of Presence) is excited about the different events we are planning for rewards for being at school. We also understand that there are times you child will miss school.
We want to provide you with an update to our Attendance Policy. Platt will now be able to accept a parent note submitted for your child's absence. Parents may submit a parent note on the official template for an absence to be approved. The official note is located on our school website or in our front office. Notes must be submitted within 5 days after the student returns to school. Notes after 5 days will remain unexcused. A maximum of 5 days per academic year can be excused with parent notes. Parent notes cannot be split into partial days. Any note submitted for an early dismissal or late check-in counts as a full day towards the 5 day annual limit.
You can find the official template here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l7khvpATNUFLPQtMB8Rx2J8k04Bk2nIbT-MPwqBsRpQ/edit?usp=sharing
