Attendance

Parents, please remember to send a note when your child is absent from school.  The school will call the parents of an absent child by 9:00 each day they are absent but a note is also needed for the records.  Students can be absent 5 days with a parent note and then they must have a doctor’s statement.  This is Smith County School Board Policy

Students Arriving Late To School

Parents please stop by the office and sign your child in if arriving late to school.  This lets the office staff know if your child is present.  Also, any visitor needs to sign in the office before going to any classroom.  Thank you for your cooperation
