Dental and medical appointments are excused; however, we ask that appointments be kept to a minimum during the instructional day. If a child must leave early for a medical or dental appointment, parents need to fill out the information using our online Absence, Early Dismissal, Late Arrival Attendance Form in advance and must sign the child out in the office at the appropriate time.

Please submit the Absence, Early Dismissal, Late Arrival Attendance Form AFTER 4 p.m. the DAY BEFORE the change or before 9 a.m. on the MORNING OF the change. This will give the office sufficient time to process the requests.

Absences for family and student vacations are unexcused. Students are responsible for completing any missed assignments. Teachers will provide the student and parent/guardian with missed work but are not obligated to provide assignments prior to family or student vacations.

Virginia State law requires that each student who is absent from school must be reported each time by a responsible person. An excused absence is one for which parents/guardians have prior knowledge, consent, and a legitimate reason. Legitimate reasons include illness of the student, death in the family, and observance of a religious holiday. Absences for family and student vacations are unexcused. After the fifth unexcused absence, the school is required to refer the student to an Attendance Officer  - School Board Regulation 2234.
