ATTENDANCE MATTERS!

Below you will find a few reminders to help your child have a successful school year!

• School starts promptly at 7:45 AM If a student is not IN THE CLASSROOM at this time, they will be marked absent until their tardy is entered into the system. Showing up on time is key to you students success

• No early dismissals after 1:45

• School is dismissed at 2:15 PM. Please refrain from using your cell phones during dismissal so that you may be aware and looking for your child in the car loop.

• This year, students will only be allowed 10 total absences. Greenville County states that students must be present 170 of 180 days. This can be combination of parent notes, or unexcused absences. A student will be considered TRUANT with 3 consecutive unexcused absences, or 5 total unexcused absences. Chronic absences and tardiness can affect the entire classroom, disrupting the flow of learning. Attending school REGULARLY and ON TIME creates a positive environment for everyone! If a student misses more than 10 days, all additional absences must be medical or principal approved to be classified as an excused absence. We are no longer able to accept text messages or class app messages. Attendance must be communicated through email to your child's teacher, email to Mrs. Rogers, or a physical note in your child's red folder.
