The
elementary school attendance policy adopted by our School Board adheres
to North Carolina state laws pertaining to student attendance.
Students
must be in attendance for more than half a day (11:15 a.m.) to be
counted present for the day. Upon returning to school from an absence
students must bring a parent note or doctor's statement giving the
reason for the absence. Undocumented absences and absences which do not
comply with state law as "excused" will be coded "unexcused." Family
vacations are not excused. When they are limited in length and the
student has not had excessive absences prior, the teacher will allow the
child to make up work. Prior notice is required.
Students who arrive at school after 7:30 a.m. are tardy and must report to the office for a late pass.
