When a student is absent, the parent(s)/guardian(s) should call the Deans’ Office at 312-421-6435 no later than 8:30 a.m. on the day of the student’s absence. Voicemail messages or an email to attendance@ignatius.org from a verified parent email are both acceptable to report an absence. Absence notifications must include the student name, date, and reason for absence.
If your student must be absent from school for reasons other than sickness, please get permission from the Deans' Office at least two days in advance using the form below. Hard copies of this form can be found in the Deans' Office
If your child is leaving school early, he/she should present the Early Dismissal Form, upon arrival at school, before 8:00 a.m., to the Deans' Office. That note should cover the reason for the request and the following:
HOW the student is leaving - picked up (preferred), signed out, leaving on own, etc.
Lateness due to a doctor's appointment requires a note from the doctor upon arrival.
No note=Tardy
If your student is simply late to school, he/she must report to the Deans' Office immediately upon arrival at campus. A student arriving late, but before 8:30 a.m is allowed six tardies for the year before he/she gets a JUG.
Every tardy thereafter = Detention
12 tardies = Tardy Probation
ARRIVAL AFTER 8:30 a.m. = DETENTION
**Your student must be in school for half the day in order to participate in or attend co-curricular or athletic events after school.
Once your student arrives to campus, he/she stays here until the end of the school day.
Any movement off campus requires permission.
Your student may leave the building at 2:05 p.m. if he/she has last period free.
Consecutive free periods at the end of a day require a note for earlier dismissal.

What is a JUG?
There are actually a couple of definitions for the term. Some say it's a Jesuit form of detention, and an acronym for "Justice Under God." Others say the word "jug" comes from the Latin sub jug(o). Translation: "under the yoke." Teachers and administrators give jugs for dozens of reasons ranging from dress code violations, to tardiness, to character issues. If a student receives a JUG, he/she typically has to serve the JUG/detention the same day, immediately after school, for one hour.
