RNESU is focusing on increasing learner attendance this year as we recover from the pandemic and return to best practices for teaching children. One way this is being addressed is closer accountability with attendance. Below is the section regarding attendance and communication with the school from the RNESU Handbook.

We understand that kiddos will be sick from time to time and we also understand that families may only be able to take vacations or participate in educational activities outside of the RNESU calendar. If a family is scheduled to be away and wish for it to be considered "excused," please fill out this request for leave form and submit it to the principal, Debbie in advance of your travel. Please note that only 10 lawful absences are allowed in one school year. (Further information included in the letter.) Please reach out early so that we can accommodate your child's absence.
