3) What are Rex Bell’s attendance guidelines?

Your child’s education is very important to us at Rex Bell Elementary School. Therefore it is imperative that your child attend school on a regular basis. Rex Bell Elementary School, along with the Clark County School District, have adopted the following attendance guidelines:

**Tardiness: “A student is to be marked tardy who is not physically present in the classroom at the start of
the instructional day…”

**Absenteeism: “An elementary student shall be recorded as absent for half of the day if more than one hour and fifty-five minutes of the instructional day are missed and recorded as absent for the entire day if more than three hours and forty-five minutes of the instructional day are missed”.

**Retention: “Elementary students who exceed twenty (20) unapproved absences during the school year shall be retained in the current grade”.

5) How do I set up an appointment with my child's teacher?

It is your right as a parent to set up an appointment with your child's teacher at any time during the school year. To do so, call the main office at 702-799-5910 and ask to set up an appointment with your child's teacher. Teachers are very busy and would be appreciative if you would call to set up a meeting time. Stopping by your teacher's classroom during the school day without an appointment is not conducive to a productive conference because the teacher may be educating your child at that time or planning how best to help your child succeed in school.
