All students are required to attend school everyday. In the case of an absence, a written note must be provided stating the reason for the absence. The Board of Education defines an unexcused absence as indifference of parents or students, uncertified student or family illness, and vacations. If, because of an unexcused absence, a student misses a class assignment or test for which a grade is given, a grade of 0 will be recorded. Your child will be considered tardy after 9:30am. At this time the parent/guardian must sign the student in with the front office. Please provide a note for the reason for tardiness. The student will receive a late pass at that time. Tardies will be entered into Synergy and become part of the student’s record. For more information on the PGCPS attendance policy, please see Administrative Procedure 5113.
