Attendance and Tardies

Being in school is critical for academic success!

• Types of Absences:
  • Excused- Doctor’s note provided for the days missed, religious holiday, court subpoena.
  • Validated- Brief illness not requiring doctor visit. Please call the office or provide a written note if your child is absent. This will validate but not excuse the absence.
  • Unexcused- Absence not excused or validated. Students who are habitually absent will be reported to the CCPS Attendance Officer.
     
• If a student is absent, they are provided with one school day for each day absent to make up work without academic penalty. Assignments are not required to be given to students prior to an absence.
   
• It is critical that students are in class the entire school day. While we recognize that it is not always possible, we encourage you to schedule doctor and dental appointments on non-school days or outside of the school day.
