Attendance
Policy
If your child is going to be late or absent you must notify the school that
morning. It is very important that your child get to school on
time. Students may be kept after school until 3:00 p.m. to make up
work missed from being late to school or tardy to class. You will receive a letter from
the school when your child has three (3) unexcused tardies. The school
district considers 3 tardies as one day of truancy and five unexcused absences
as excessive. It is the policy of the Davenport School District to
account for all students daily. Continued absences without parental
contact may be turned over to the Truant Officer or other legal
agencies. Please call the school office before 8:15 a.m. if your
child will be absent or tardy, 322-2601.

District
and Hayes Wellness Policy
Snacks and Treats
New federal legislation has given school districts guidelines in forming a
wellness policy. Beginning with the 2006-2007 school year, food sales
and consumption during the school day that do not meet nutritional guidelines
will be prohibited. Sugar content must be less than or equal to 15 grams
per serving (not including fruits and vegetables or dairy products other than
milk). Food will have no more than 40% of total calories from fat and no
more than 10% total calories from saturated fat. This policy will
severely limit what is allowed for snacks and treats. More information
will be shared as Hayes School's Wellness Committee develops the policy's
implementation. Food brought to school for special occasions that
does not meet the guidelines will be sent home with the student. If you are
in doubt, please contact the principal Sheri Day at 322-2601 or days@mail.davenport.k12.ia.us.
