Administrative detention( arrival to school only).
Checkout A student must be in attendance for at least half of the scheduled day to be counted present. If a student is checked out early, a parent / guardian must show a picture ID to sign the student out before 4:00 p. m. Students will not be called out of class for checkout after 4:00 p. m. Students may not leave campus before school dismissal unless signed out by an authorized adult whose name appears on the registration form.
ATTENDANCE POLICY One of the most important steps a student can take to achieve academic success is also one of the most basic: attend school every day. Research shows that a student’ s attendance record may be the biggest factor influencing his / her academic success.
Regular and prompt attendance are necessary for student academic success.
To prevent missed school days counted as an unexcused absence, the parent must do the following within three( 3) days of the student returning to school:
• Each time the student misses school due to a doctor’ s appointment, the school must receive a doctor’ s excuse.
• Each time the student stays at home sick, the parent must submit a signed note explaining the reason the student stayed at home.
Cobb County School District attendance policy is as follows:
After 3 unexcused absences – Homeroom teachers contact parent / guardian to address the absences. After 5 unexcused absences – A letter is sent home to the parent / guardian addressing the student’ s attendance. After 7 unexcused absences – The school social worker is consulted to determine if a referral is needed.
