Georgia law requires schools to notify parents when their children have at least 5 unexcused absences. After 10 total absences, a medical note may be required to excuse any future absences. If your child is very ill and may be out for an extended time, please contact an administrator or counselor so we may work with you to provide academic support. We want your children at school as much as possible so they can learn and grow, but we also want them to be healthy and well!
