NOTE FROM THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE

Parents/guardians are requested to call the school if their child is going to be absent.

Parents/guardians are responsible for providing the school with a note (within 72 hours) indicating the reason(s) for the absence. Legitimate reasons for absences are illness (including mental health and substance abuse illnesses), death in the family, funeral, legal obligations, suspensions, religious observances, military obligations, injury, medical procedures, doctor or dental appointments (not possible to be scheduled on non-school time), and/or exceptional circumstances as determined by the building principal.

Parents/guardians should discuss with the building principal any absence, which the parent/guardian believes constitutes exceptional circumstances. In such event, the building principal shall make the final decision whether the absence is excused or unexcused.

When requesting make-up work, parents/ guardians should give teachers 24 hours’ notice to have the child’s assignments prepared for take homework. At least one (1) day will be allowed for make-up work for every day of excused absence. Failure on part of the student to complete make-up work on time will result in the student receiving a lowered grade on the assignment. Students are not allowed to make up any daily work or quizzes missed during unexcused absences or unexcused tardies. Students may be given credit for extended assignments with a due date that occurs during an unexcused absence. Extended assignments include, but are not limited to, research papers, essays, book reports, projects, tests and quarterly assessments. To comply with the Code of Virginia § 22.1-254, the school will attempt to telephone a student’s home to verify absences. Parents/guardians are encouraged to notify the school when a student is absent or tardy.

Any absence from school that is not documented by parent/guardian or doctor’s note is considered unexcused. Any absence not defined under the before mentioned excused absence section is considered an unexcused absence. If a student accrues more than ten (10) absences, which is considered excessive, and does not provide a doctor’s note or specific documentation from the institution requiring the student to miss school, the absence is considered an unexcused absence (exceptions to this regulation can be determined by the building principal upon collaboration with the school division’s attendance officer).

If a student accumulates excessive (ten (10) or more) absences, a physician’s note may be required. At least one (1) day will be allowed for make-up work for every day of excused absence. If a student is absent due to the observance of a religious holiday, the absence will be recorded as excused on the student’s attendance record. That student cannot be deprived of any award or eligibility or opportunity to compete for any award or of the right to take an alternate test or examination, for any time missed due to the observance of a religious holiday.

Evidence of a court appearance or a medical appointment should be presented to the principal for administrative review upon the student’s return to school.

Tardiness to School – Students are expected to be in their first class on time. If tardy, students should bring a note from a parent or guardian indicating the reason for the tardiness, sign in and secure a tardy slip from the attendance office. The determination of whether the tardy is excused or unexcused will be determined by school administration.

Early Dismissal – Students should bring a note from a parent or guardian indicating the reason for the early dismissal, sign out in the office, and sign back in when they return. Parents/guardians should report to the school office to sign a student out of school during regular school hours. Thank you J.
