Garden City Elementary
Attendance
Attendance in school is important. Students are expected to be in attendance each day, unless ill. Student arrival time is 7:15 A.M. Student dismissal time is 2:20 P.M. Absences are to be reported to the front office at 317-988-8350 before 9:00 A.M. Students who arrive at school after 7:30 A.M. are considered tardy and will receive a tardy pass. Students who are picked up early must check out through the front office prior to 2:00. A photo identification will be required to check out students.
Students with excellent attendance will be recognized. Excellent attendance is defined by a 97% attendance rate. Students can achieve this goal by missing 5 days or less for the entire school year.
