Attendance

In recognition of the importance of regular attendance, all students at Runnymede are expected to:
1. Attend all classes and not to leave a class without the explicit permission of the teacher.
2. Submit an explanatory note, properly signed by a parent or guardian to teachers upon returning to school following any absence.

The school has a responsibility to parents, guardians and to the Toronto District School Board of Education to accurately maintain student attendance records and to know where students are at all times. Therefore, students are required to sign in or sign out through the office when entering or leaving the school during the day. Students must submit a note to the office signed by a parent or guardian if they wish to sign out during the day. If no note is provided, a parent must be contacted before permission is given for the student to leave the school.
