Check-out notes, sick excuses, and doctor excuses CAN only be sent electronically to Attendance: NGattendance@cowetaschools.net The electronic note should include:
No bus notes will be accepted at this time.
Must be turned in electronically within 3 days after student returns
Students are allowed to turn in 12 sick notes from parent/guardian a year – notes must be turned in within 3 DAYS after the student returns back to school – IF a student is out 5 consecutive days, they MUST have a doctor’s note when returning to school. If a student reaches the 12 home sick note maximum, only doctor’s notes will be accepted to make the absence excused.
An electronic Doctor’s note may be turned in anytime and there is not a limit to how many can be turned in. If there is a suspicion that the doctor’s note is a forgery, we are allowed to call and verify the dates covered on the note.
A student must be fever free for at least 24 hours, without fever reducing medication, to return to school.
*If your child feels ill, DO NOT send them to school.
