Parent Back to School Guide For Success

**Always send a written note for absences for the data clerk, Ms. Watson. Emails and phone calls are not considered for excuses.

A child aged 6-17 is considered truant if they have missed:

● three unexcused days of school in a row

● five unexcused days total

If your student meets the criteria for truancy, your school will contact you to set up a mandatory conference to help support your child’s attendance.

Excused Absences

Absences that are considered to be excused are:

● Absence due to an illness that would endanger his/her health and the health of others

● Absence due to an illness or death in the immediate family

● Absence due to a recognized religious holiday of the student’s faith

Unexcused Absences

Absences that are considered to be unexcused are:

● Absence of a student without the knowledge of his/her parents or legal guardians

Absence of a student without acceptable cause with the knowledge of his/her parents or legal guardians

This year Buist Academy students will be presenting Disney’s Frozen Jr.

Auditions will be held Monday, September 12, 2022, from 3:00-5:00 PM in the music room. Have your child see Dr. B to sign up for an audition time. Students will need to be prepared to sing, dance, and act.

We are also looking for a parent to help with the choreography for this production. Please contact Dr. B at James_Braunreuther@charleston.k12.sc.us if you would like to help.
