Parents are required to report all absences.  

Preschool: During the school year, messages need to be delivered to DPSP no later than 8:30 a.m. 

School Age: During the school year, messages need to be delivered to TKC by 2:30 p.m. to avoid a Finder’s Fee. If we need to locate your child after school, the Finder’s Fee is $20 per child. Families do need to call in the absence, even if attending an after school class/camp.

You may call the attendance line, 763-972-6210, press 2 (Please indicate their name, classroom or teacher, date of absence, and the reason for their absence.)
