ABSENCES OR TARDINESS
Regular and on-time attendance is expected of each student. The Code of Virginia requires that any student with five or more unexcused absences be referred to the school attendance officer. Further unexcused absences will result in a petition to the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. The principal, school social worker, and school attendance officer also monitor student tardiness. If your child will be absent, it is essential that parents call the Bonnie Brae attendance line at 703-321-3939 before 9:00 a.m. to report the absence and reason. Absences that are not confirmed with the school by parents will be recorded as unexcused.

Any students arriving tardy must enter the building through the front doors and go to the office for a tardy slip that the student takes to class.

SCHOOL AGE CHILD CARE
School Age Child Care (SACC) cares for children before and after school in Fairfax County elementary schools. Sports, games, recreational activities, and field trips are also an integral part of the child-focused curriculum at each SACC center. For more information http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ofc/Sacc.htm
