To help students develop desirable patterns of behavior and to maximize learning, Fairfax County Public Schools require that students be regular and punctual in attendance.
Official attendance is recorded at the beginning of each school day.
During after-school hours, an answering machine will record your message. Virginia State Law requires each absence to be supported by a valid excuse. Excused absences include illness, death in the family, religious observances, medical or dental appointments, or others at the discretion of the principal. Late Arrival - A child arriving at school late must first report to the office for correction of attendance records. Extended Absence - When a child is expected to be absent due to illness for an extended period of time, the school should be notified so that provisions may be made for a home study program.
