📣 Important Attendance Update for BGS Families

Posted Date: 9/03/25 (2:30 PM)

Dear BGS Families,

Welcome back to another exciting school year at Bloomington Graduation School! 🎉.  As we kick off the year, we want to share some important updates regarding student attendance, based on Indiana’s Senate Enrolled Act 482.

📌 What You Need to Know:

  • If a student has 5 unexcused absences in a 10-week period, schools are required to hold an attendance improvement meeting with the parent or caregiver.
  • After 10 unexcused absences, schools must file a report with the prosecutor.
  • To avoid unexcused absences, please call (812) 330-7708 to report your student’s absence.
  • If your student has 10 or more absences (excused or unexcused), a doctor’s note is required per MCCSC policy.

🩺 Health Guidelines for Keeping Students Home:

  • Fever over 100°F (return after 24 hours fever-free without medication)
  • Vomiting or diarrhea (return after 24 hours symptom-free)
  • Eye conditions with mucous discharge or swelling
  • Rash with open sores or blisters (unless cleared by a doctor)

We appreciate your partnership in helping every student succeed. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Let’s make this year amazing together! 💪🐉

With Warm Regards,


Lucas P. Calhoun
Principal, Bloomington Graduation School
