Unexcused Absence Update

I think I hit upon something here with this post. I've had so many comments and suggestions. Thanks for the suggestion...I was told that any absence without a doctors note is considered unexcused. State Law. But that if I call the pediatricians office the day they are sick, they will fax a note over to the school. I imagine doctors offices around the state have to employe an additional person just to handle the volume of absence notes! Thank heavens I have taken the kids to the doctor several times before this incident. At least I have a track record with an office willing to write an excuse a week after the illness and for multiple days. We're in the clear now. I can keep my kids...
