    Attendance

    • If your child is absent from school due to illness, please contact the front office or registrar as soon as possible.  Students arriving after the 8:30 a.m. tardy bell must be escorted to the front office by their parents.  Excessive absences/tardies include 5 unexcused in a nine-week period or 10  unexcused in a semester, or failure to provide an explanation.  Excused absences will be granted for a family emergency, student illness, or a medical appointment (with doctor's note).  Family vacations or trips are not considered an excused absence.
       

      If you have any attendance questions or need to report an absence, please contact our attendance secretary, Ms. Melissa Smith at smithm7@leonschools.net or you may call her at 850-921-1265

    • KLES will follow School Board Policy 1213 which states the school “will provide for supervision of students for forty-five (45) minutes before the start of the school day and for thirty (30) minutes after the school day ends.” This means KLES will begin supervision at 7:45 am. In the afternoon, KLES will end supervision at 3:20 pm. If you are interested in childcare starting at 7:00 am, please call the KLES EDEP at 488-1944 for morning classes.
