I would not allow the school to bully me on this. I know that here where we live, they can miss 30 days. Unless she misses more than that, I dont think the school has any right to say anything to you about her being out. You are her mother and you know she needs to stay home today. If only other parents would have the same respect.

The school my children used to go to questioned me about how many days my oldest daughter was out one year. She had perfect attendance until Feb. of that school year. Then she got influenza, was out five days, got a secondary infection from that and was out another two days. Then in March, my mother died and she was out another three days. I think that schools depend on students being there too much that they have gotten to where they dont care if you send them sick or not. This was only 10 days my daughter was out, and they said something to me. I told them it was none of their business.
