State law requires all children to be in school each day. If an excuse is not received within 2 days, the absence is unexcused. For your convenience, the PTA provides a blue note pad for easy communication of excused absences. It will be sent home with new students at the beginning of the school year. Additional pads are available through the school office.
Attendance is reported at the state and county levels.
Statistics show that student achievement is directly related to attendance. Students are recognized for perfect attendance quarterly and yearly. Please encourage your child to attend school regularly. If your child is reluctant to attend, please call so that we may address problems together. Students who take trips with their parents may be excused no more than twice during the year for a combined maximum of five days.
