Attendance

Attendance Brochure 2021 2022

Attendance Coding Reference

South Carolina state law requires that all children attend school regularly beginning with the school year in which the child is five years of age before September 1st until the child attains his/her 17th birthday or graduates from high school. The school year consists of 180 days, and high school students cannot accumulate more than 5 absences per class and still receive credit for the course, regardless of the grade earned in the course. Family vacations, organizational trips, or retreats during the school year are included in the 5 absences per term. Please refer to the SJHS attendance brochure for specific details regarding attendance laws, policies, and “seat time” sessions.

Students Arriving Late
Students arriving at school after 8:20 must report to the attendance office to sign in and get a tardy pass. Failure to sign in will result in a disciplinary infraction and ISS. Students who miss more than 45 minutes of a class will be considered absent. Hall sweeps will be conducted as a deterrent for tardiness.

Early Dismissal By Parent Request
Students requiring early dismissal should bring a note from their parents to the front desk in order to obtain an early dismissal pass. All requests are to be submitted prior to 8:15 a.m. so that they may be verified by phone. The note must have a phone number at which the parent may be contacted. If the note cannot be verified by phone the student will not be allowed to leave. We cannot accept phone calls for early dismissal. Students will not be issued a tardy pass if they fail to bring their note to the front desk before 8:15 a.m. SJHS will not call classrooms unless it is an emergency; therefore, the student must have a pass to get out of class.

When it is time for students to leave, they are to go by the front desk to sign out. Students who do not bring a note for a pre-arranged medical or legal appointment must remain in class until the period ends before they will be permitted to sign out of school with their parent/guardian. Failure to sign out at the front desk will result in a disciplinary infraction and an assignment of ISS. Students will not be signed out after 3:00 p.m.

Procedures To Follow After An Absence
After an absence students are to report to the front desk before 8:15 a.m. with a note from their parent/guardian or from their doctor. Notes from the parent/guardian or doctor must be submitted to the front desk within three days of an absence. Failure to do so will result in an unverified unexcused absence. Students will not be written a tardy pass to first block because they failed to bring their note to the front desk before 8:15 a.m.

Unlawful Absences
Students who miss school without parental knowledge, and students who are absent from school without acceptable cause with the knowledge of the parent, are considered unlawfully absent. According to the SC Attendance/Truancy Law when students have three consecutive unlawful or unexcused absences or a total of five unlawful or unexcused absences, the school will contact parents and develop an Attendance Intervention Plan (AIP) for improved attendance. Students exceeding five days of unlawful or unexcused absences will be reported to Family Court. Students who have excessive unlawful or unexcused absences in a single class may also be referred to Family Court for truancy.

Excused Absences
The following absences are considered excused: medical, judicial, and bereavement. Students will need to provide documentation for medical, judicial, and bereavement absences upon returning to school. Prearranged absenses for other reasons and/or extreme hardships are at the discretion of the principal.

Reporting Student Absences
Parents are asked to contact Deanna Zirkelbach in the event of students’ absences from school. Parents may call the attendance office at (843) 650-2448 or e-mail  dzirkelbach@horrycountyschools.net

Summer Programs

Summer Programs For Students  (Many Different Schools)

_________________________________________________

Greetings from the Darla Moore School of Business Office of Diversity & Inclusion!
We are excited to share an upcoming summer program with you that is designed for rising high school juniors and seniors in South Carolina!  As the summer quickly approaches, we know that many students are seeking opportunities to help develop their academic and social skills, while building their resume, so we want to inform you of a unique program that will help them achieve just that.

On June 26^th through June 29^th, we will launch our first Moore Business Success Academy. This three-day summer academy is geared towards students who are interested in pursuing a business degree at the University of South Carolina after graduation. Participants will experience what it’s like to be a Moore School student by residing on campus, participating in engaging social and professional development activities, and will receive focused instruction in several core areas including:  accounting, business analytics, economics, financial decision making, marketing, and business communications. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be eligible to receive a $5,000 scholarship (per year for up to four years) upon enrollment at the Darla Moore School of Business.

The application requirements include:
Students who identify as African American or Black, Hispanic, LatinX, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian, Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or Two or More Races.
Students with a minimum GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 GPA Scale (or equivalent if high school uses a different scale).
A letter of recommendation (anyone that can speak to student’s academic success).
One graded writing sample (sample must show grade and feedback from teacher).

This is a highly competitive opportunity and is only being extended to 20 students, so please encourage your students to apply today! For questions, please contact Ashley Elliott, Manager of Scholar Engagement at diversity@moore.sc.edu.
