Pipestone Area Middle and High School

Pipestone Area Middle and High School is a secondary school located at 1401 7th Street Southwest in Pipestone, Minnesota, United States. Led by Middle School/High School Principal Mrs. Sonja Ortman, the school emphasizes the importance of student attendance. Parents are encouraged to report absences by emailing the attendance office or calling 507-562-6100.

Students are required to log in and out using the computer in the HS/MS office, which helps track their presence in the building. If a student is sick and sent home, they must sign out on the computer and obtain a pass from the nurse. Medical documentation is also required for students returning from appointments.

For extended absences, advance makeup slips can be requested through the HS/MS office with parental notification. These slips help teachers prepare schoolwork for students before they leave. School-related absences, such as for sports, band, or FFA activities, do not require a note from parents/guardians as teachers will inform the attendance secretary.

The school's mission is to provide educational excellence and support students for their future, with a commitment from the district and community to work together towards this goal. Thank you for supporting our attendance process at Pipestone Area Middle and High School.
