Parents, every time a student is absent, a note is required. Notes must be submitted within three (3) days or the day being unexecused.
Notes can be submitted by several methods:
- Send a note via ParentSquare
- Handwritten note submitted to Attendance
- Handwritten note placed in the mailbox in the Visual Arts hallway.
Parents can write 7 parent notes per year. The State of Tennessee considers a student Chronically Absent when they reach 18 absences whether excused or unexcused.
DOES YOUR TEEN NEED AN SF-1010 FORM FOR THEIR DRIVER’S PERMIT?
In order for a student to take their permit test, a form is required from the school. Mrs. Thacker, our attendance secretary, prepares these forms. When school is in session, a completed form may be picked up in the Attendance Office. However, if school is NOT in session, the form will be mailed home by USPS.
