Absence Procedures

To report an absent child, call the school office at (513) 363-1300 or email us using this Absence Reporting Form.

Attendance of students in school is of paramount importance if the teaching-learning process is to be successfully conducted. Students are expected to be at school every day except in cases of illness, emergency, or school-approved absences. Parents should call and notify the school when a child is absent.

All students are required to bring a written note stating the reason for their absence upon their return.

As a student's absence approaches the excessive level, or when significant unexcused absences occur, a referral will be made to the school's support personnel (social worker) or to the Pupil Services Department (Home Counselor, Nurse, or Psychologist) for appropriate action.

Student behavior that distracts bus drivers is a hazard to the vehicle's safe operation, and jeopardizes the safety and welfare of all passengers. Misbehavior while on a yellow school bus or a Metro bus can result in disciplinary action for the student or the suspension of transportation service for the student. Read more about our requirements for student behavior on buses.

Cell phones and entertainment electronics, such as headphones, CD players, pagers, video games, radios, MP3 players, etc. are NOT permitted during the school day.

Cell phones are only to be used in an emergency. Cell phones and entertainment electronics will be confiscated if seen or heard by school staff. They will be returned to parents only. Parents, please understand that students have access to the office phone to contact parents. In case of an emergency, parents/guardians may reach their student by calling the main office at (513) 363-1300.

Chase Elementary students are required to wear a uniform. Read more about our dress code policies.

Review CPS' Code of Conduct for disciplinary procedures.
