Pick-Up and Drop-Off Procedures

Mountian View Elementary works closely with the Town of Windsor and the Windsor Police Department to ensure our students arrive safely and as efficiently as possible for families. View our drop-off and pick-up procedures.

Attendance Policy

Students are expected to be present and engaged in learning every school day. Regular and on-time attendance is an important factor in student achievement and success. It is the obligation and responsibility of parents/guardians to ensure that every child 6 - 17 years old attends public school during each school year (C.R.S. 22-33-104).

Excused Absences

Students may miss school for illness or injury, pre-arranged absences that cannot be taken care of outside school hours, work-study programs, or a school-sponsored activity.

If your child will be absent from school please notify the school in one of the following two ways:

• Preferred Method: Request absences via Campus Parent to notify school staff of an expected student absence. Select "More" from the navigation. Next, select "Absence Requests." Then, fill out the form and submit.
• Call the school attendance line at 970-686-7305 before school starts. Please include the following information in your message: child’s name, teacher, date of absence(s), and reason for absence.

Unexcused Absences

A student with four or more unexcused absences from school in any one month or 10 unexcused absences during any school year will be considered “habitually truant.” We will notify the parents / guardians in writing of the absences, and, in partnership with parents / guardians, will develop a plan to address attendance issues and discuss consequences for further unexcused absences.

For more information on attendance, visit Board Policy JE.

Tardiness

A child is considered tardy if they arrive after 8 a.m. If a child arrives after 9:30 a.m., they are considered absent for one-half day. If a child leaves prior to 1 p.m., they are considered absent for one-half day. If a child is tardy, they must check in at the front office before going to class.
