Attendance

The school is required to account for all absences; therefore, school personnel will call to check absentees not accounted for in advance.  Since this is a time-consuming process, your call is greatly appreciated.  This procedure does not relieve the parent of the need to write a note supporting the absence.  Virginia State Law and the Fairfax County School Board Policy require that a written note of explanation from the parent or guardian be presented to the classroom teacher when the student returns to school.

Students who are not in their classrooms by 8:50 AM are considered tardy and must report to the office before going to their classrooms.
