We expect our students to be in school except in cases of emergency or for one of the following reasons: personal illness, family illness, death of a relative, quarantine of the home, doctor appointment for illness, and other special reasons prearranged with the principal. We encourage students to make dental appointments for after-school hours.
We will only accept five parent excuses per year. After the fifth parent excuse, we will issue an unexcused absence slip unless the student has a doctor’s note or has arranged a pre-approved absence with the principal and/or assistant principal. After five unexcused absences, we will refer students to the Attala County Attendance Officer.
Please review our student handbook for additional details regarding our attendance policy. You can find the handbook in the For Parents/Students section.
