Attendance

Student Attendance

Daily attendance is extremely important for success and continuity in learning. School starts promptly at 8:40 AM in the morning and 12:46 PM after lunch.  Students need to arrive on time and ready to learn. Please help your child to be proactive in achieving this important goal.

Student Absences

Call or Email

If your child is going to be absent from school or late, please phone the school office at 403-777-6390 or email Sunnyside@cbe.ab.ca . To report a student absent or late on the Attendance Line, please dial “1” when you call in. To reach the main office, dial “0.” If we do not receive a call or email from you and your child is not in class, we are required to contact you.  If your child is late arriving for school, they must check in at the office and sign in before proceeding to their classroom. 

For the safety of students, we have a procedure to follow when a student is leaving the school. Learn more about these procedures on our Security page.

Attendance Expectations at the CBE

We believe there is a strong correlation between attendance and effective education. The CBE Administrative Regulation 6020 - Attendance of Students​ regulation applies to all of our students, and outlines the responsibilities for students, parents and school staff.​​​​​​​​
