Attendance:

School begins at 7:30am in the morning.  Students arriving at 7:38 or after are rushing to get to their classroom before the tardy bell rings.  Any student arriving in their classroom after 7:40 will be marked tardy.  Please have your student to school by 7:30 so they can start their day off relaxed instead of rushing. 

Please contact the attendance office concerning absences, tardy and early sign-outs.  Document, document, document with medical excuses or parent notes when your child is out sick.  If your child is signed out or in for any doctor appointment – again – document, document, document with a medical excuse from the provider.  Contact the attendance office for Principal Approval Request forms concerning hardships or educational trips. 

Remember:  Horry County Schools attendance policy:   3+ consecutive unexcused absences, 5+ accumulative unexcused absences or 10+ unexcused tardy/early sign-outs will result in an AIP (Attendance Intervention Plan) being implemented.  *You can download the district’s School Attendance information in a PDF sheet here.
