Easy Way to Report Absences & Eastover Attendance Policy

Reporting Absences Using Parent Connect

Did you know that there is a ParentConnection App (Q Parent Connection)?  By downloading this app and logging in, you can access your child's information.  This includes an easy way to inform Eastover that your child will be absent for the day.

Attendance Policy

Please remember that our learning begins at 9:05 am and goes until the end of the day. When students arrive late or leave early, valuable instructional time is lost.  Aside from the impact on them (it can feel awkward and embarrassing for a child to enter a room late), it also can bring the learning of the rest of the class to a halt as the teacher pauses to welcome the student and bring them up to speed. Please do your best to get your children to school on time. 

If you do arrive late to school, please walk your child to the main door, ring in, and sign them in on the clipboard in the secured vestibule. The main office staff can let your child into the school. For the safety and security of our students, we appreciate having a parent/guardian escort their child to the door. Thank you.

There have been questions recently concerning the tardy and absence reporting for Eastover. To clarify those questions, the following are the attendance guidelines for Eastover.

Morning
If your student arrives after 9:10 am, your student will be marked Tardy.
After 10:30 am your student will be marked absent for the morning

Afternoon
If you pick up your student before 2:30 pm, your student will be marked Absent for the afternoon.
If you pick up your student after 2:30 pm, your student will be marked as an early dismissal, which is like a tardy.
