Salmon Bay Attendance Policies

Student Absences:

The school day begins at 8:55am for K-8th grade. Students should be in their classroom ready to begin work when the school day begins. If your student arrives after 8:55 they will need to enter the building on 65th street and stop by the office to sign in and get a tardy slip.

To report your child absent, please email us at: salmonbay.attendance@seattleschools.org or call us at 206-252-1720. When reporting your child absent, please include first and last name and the nature of your student’s absence.

Multiple Day Planned Absences:

If your student is going to miss more than two school days, please fill out the Planned of Absence Form and submit this form to the main office at least one week in advance of the absence. Planned absences can be excused for medical appointments, religious or other one-time events. Family vacations or family trips during regular school days are unexcused.

Picking up students for Appointments:

If you are picking up a student for an appointment, please call the main office 5-10 minutes before your arrival so we can call your student down for pick-up. It gets quite busy, and a call serves as a great reminder to us and helps us keep everything moving on time.

Middle School Students can sign themselves out and meet you at the exit of your choice. Elementary Students should be met at the main office by a parent and signed out. If students are returning to school, they can enter the building on 65th and sign themselves in at the main office.

If you have any questions regarding attendance please contact our Attendance coordinator, Ileana De Leon igdeleonvill@Seattleschools.org
