Attendance & Absences

Attendance Phone: 720-561-3600 or email horizonsk8.attendance@bvsd.org

Please report all absences and the reason for the absence when you leave a message or email. The absence will be recorded in Infinite Campus. 

If you are picking up your student prior to the end of the school day- please report that to your child's teacher and to the office so that we can have your student waiting for your arrival.

If your child is going to be late, please communicate that. Late notations are done at 8:25 AM. If your 5th-8th grade student is more than 5 minutes late- they will miss their 1st period homeroom class and you will receive a robocall stating that absence. 


Attendance Policy:
Horizons K-8 follows the BVSD attendance policy. At five days of unexcused absence, families will receive a notice, and may be invited in for a conversation about what might be inhibiting regular attendance.
Please Note:
● School attendance is compulsory at Horizons, just like it is at all other public schools in the state.
● It is the responsibility of the student and their family to assure that any work missed due to excused orunexcused absences is
completed.
● All absences and tardies need to be reported each morning as they occur.
● Tardies are excused under the same circumstances as absences, and are considered a form of unexcused absence. While
students will still be expected to check in at the office if they are tardy, they will not be excused until/unless their parent has
communicated with the front office.

Unexcused Absences:
Family travel on curricular days is considered unexcused unless it is for a specific life event, ie. wedding, funeral. Travel when the ski conditions are great or the airfares are cheaper are, indeed, unexcused. Specific pre-arranged absences may be made by contacting jasmine.gravesblack@bvsd.org.
