According to Maryland law, every child between the ages of 5 and 18 must attend school. Students are expected to attend classes unless they have an excused absence. Attendance will be reported to parents on report cards.
According to MCPS procedures, if a student is absent from school, the school will follow up on the absence through an automated calling system that contacts parents to alert them about the absence.
Students have three (3) days from the day they return to submit their excuse on the Google Doc. After the three-day limit, an absence will be classified as unexcused unless the administrator has granted an extension to a student's request during these days. Please allow 48hrs for the attendance in ParentVue to be updated.
In order to participate in any athletic event, extracurricular activity, scheduled school activity or practice, students must be on time and attend all scheduled classes the day of the event. With prior approval of an administrator, a student may be excused for prescheduled appointments.
