Attendance
Attendance Procedure
If your student is sick and unable to attend school, or needs to be picked up during the day (e.g., for an appointment), please call the GBO main number at 847-486-5700 to inform us directly. You may also contact your student’s case manager and/or therapist.
If your student attends GBN or GBS for any part of the school day, please follow their attendance procedures as well.
Student Illness
If a student tests positive for COVID, the student should remain home and a parent/guardian should notify the attendance office. The information will be shared with the nurse’s office and someone will be in touch regarding next steps.
Students experiencing any flu symptoms are encouraged to remain home. Any tests, quizzes and projects can be made up when they have recovered and returned to school.
Arriving Late or Leaving Early
- Students who are called out during the school day will need to come to the security window to sign out at the time they are leaving the school.
- Students who are returning to school or coming in late will need to come to the security window to sign in when they enter the school.
- Students who fail to sign in or out will receive an unexcused absence for the classes that they missed.
- Students excused from school must leave the building.
