Students and families, attendance at the EPIC Campus is of the utmost importance with the hands-on learning and the amount of content that is covered in each of our class periods.  If a student must miss class at EPIC, a parent/guardian must contact our Attendance Office by phone at 303-347-4469.  We follow district Attendance policy, therefore, students who arrive late for class must check-in at the Attendance Office to receive a pass to class, whether the tardy is excused or unexcused. If a student does not check-in at the office after a teacher has taken attendance, the student will be marked absent.
