It is crucial that you communicate with the Perry Township Innovation Program when your student is not in attendance, whether it is planned or unplanned. There are several ways you can get in contact with our office:

1. 1. You can call or leave a voicemail to our main office at (317-789-2940) at any time. Please contact our office prior to 9am the date of the absence if possible.
   2. You can email jlines@perryschools.org and write the absence request

If you call or email, please include your student’s first and last name (with spelling), your name and relationship to student, date of absence, date of birth, grade, your phone #, student ID # (if known), and reason for absence or leaving early with pick-up time. Please do not contact your student’s teacher(s), counselors, etc. to report an absence as this could delay the message the office would need to receive to create a pass for a student.

Additionally, if a student is at school and starts to feel unwell, they will need to report to the office. If the student would then need to go home, the office will contact the parent and/or guardian directly for pick up.

Perry Township Innovation highly values student attendance. As a career technical education program, we strive to prepare students professionally for their future in a career, college, or enlistment. This value on attendance helps students develop a high-quality work ethic, which will be a significant factor for future employers. One of the most important work habits that employers look for when hiring and promoting a worker is his/her dependability in coming to work every day and on time. Positive attendance to class mirrors that work habit.
