ABSENCE REQUESTS & PROCEDURES
If your student(s) will be absent from school, you must call the MILLER CHILD SAFE LINE at 469-752-2700, select option #3. During the call provide:
- your student's full name,
- teacher's name, grade, and
- reason for the absence
When your student(s) return to school, please bring a written and parent/guardian signed excuse note upon their return. You have 3 days to turn in a written excuse note; after that the absence will remain unexcused. Also, excuse notes can no longer be emails.
Here is a printable copy of the Absence Excuse Note or you can write up your own being sure to include: Student's full name, Teacher's name, Grade, Dates absent & Reason for the absence. Please note, excuse notes can no longer be emails.
Absence Requests: If you know ahead of time that your child will miss school, you should complete the Student Absence Request Form and turn it into the school office for the Principal's review. Please note that just because you turn in an request that does not automatically translate to an excused absence.
NOTES FROM OUR NURSE
MEDICATION:
Both prescription and over-the-counter medicines must be in an original, labeled bottle and must be accompanied by a pink Medication Authorization Form available in the front office. Dosage and time should be written on nonprescription drug containers. Parents should bring medications to the clinic, along with the completed pink Medication Authorization Form, for safekeeping. Children should never have them in backpacks, desks or lunches.
WHEN DO I KEEP MY CHILD AT HOME?
Many parents are unsure when to keep a child at home with illness. Please keep your child home if they have any of the following symptoms:
1 - A temperature more than 100 degrees in the past 24 hours.
2 - Diarrhea or vomiting in the past 24 hours.
3 - If your child wakes up in the morning with one, or both eyes red, pink, oozing or crusty on the eyelids, please keep him/her at home and call your physician. They need to be checked for Pink Eye, which is highly contagious and requires administration of prescription eye drops for 24 hours before returning to school.
4 - If your child has a moist cough that is difficult to control with over-the-counter medications, your child is having difficulty breathing with coughing, vomits with coughing or your child is coughing up green or yellow sputum; please keep your child at home and call your physician.
5 - Breathing difficulty, wheezing or coughing that continues one hour after taking medicine, please keep your child at home and call your physician.
Please keep your child at home until symptom free for 24 hours!

Yes! You may send an item, but family will not be able to go into the classroom. It is recommended that you contact your student's teacher to let them know you would like to send something. Please only send one item for every student in the class. It can be a small food item like a cupcake or cookie (please keep them small!) or an item like pencils. Items, especially food, should be left at the office to ensure they are delivered to the classroom at the appropriate time. Thank you!
VISITORS

If you are going beyond the school office a name badge will be printed for you. This name badge must be worn at all times. Please have your photo ID with you if you are entering the school beyond the school office (unless your photo ID is already on file with the front office). When leaving you must stop at the front office to check out and return your name badge.
