Shannon called my (Ms. Strelish\'s) cell phone on Sept. 13 at 8:02am (orientation began at 8:00) to say she would be late. On Sept. 15 she called at 8:00am to say she would be 5 minutes late. On Sept. 19 she texted me to let me know she was ill and was not sure if she would be attending clinical on Sept. 20. At 6;59am on the 20th, I texted Shannon asking her if she was coming to clinical and she replied \"no\". On Sept. 21 Shannon arrived at the school at 9:15am and had already been marked absent by Mrs. Barush.  On Sept. 22, Shannon arrived at clinical at 7:05 (as stated by two other classmates), and did not let me know she was there until 7:15 (clinical start time is 6:45).  She simply stated \"Ms. Strelish I\'m here, if I\'m allowed to stay\".  I replied \"No, you can leave.\"
