ATTENDANCE

Daily attendance is a crucial part of your child’s instruction. School attendance between the ages of 5 and 16 is Maryland State Law. Willfully preventing a child from attending school is against the law and prevents a child from realizing his/her full Academic Potential.

Children who need to be absent from school may be absent for the following reasons:

  • Death of immediate family/other

  • Illness of student

  • Court summons

  • Hazardous weather conditions

  • Observance of a religious holiday

  • Lack of authorized transportation

  • Other emergency circumstances as determined by the school principal.
