Attendance
Attendance
Attendance Coding ReferenceSouth 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 Beth Jordan in the event of students’ absences from school. Parents may call the attendance office at (843) 650-2448 or e-mail BJordan003@horrycountyschools.net. -

For the second year in a row we are running a Teacher of the Month campaign for the whole school year. Each month participants can nominate and vote for teachers in Horry County that they think should have recognition of being Teacher of the Month for that month. The teacher with the most votes by the end of the month WINS for that month. They will receive a $50 prize from our sponsor, Sparks Toyota, a plaque, and a follow up story in all of our local papers. The ballot resets every month! Please help us highlight some of the awesome teachers in Horry County!You can access that ballot by using this link: https://bit.ly/3gOzvZX
New this year is the Student of the Month campaign! This campaign is run the same way that Teacher of the Month is run. The ballot will reset every month and it will run for the whole 2020 - 2021 school year. By the end of each month, the student with the most votes will win a $50 prize from our sponsor, Ray Winters, Attorney at Law, a plaque, and a follow up story in our local papers. We wanted to run this campaign to celebrate all of the awesome students that deserve recognition throughout Horry County!
You can access that promotion by using this link: https://bit.ly/3hVIDNB
Lastly, as you may know we did not publish our annual Football Preview special publication. Instead, this year we published a Fall Sports Senior Tribute that highlights every senior and every fall sport from every high school in Horry County! In addition to the print piece, we are running the Fall Sports Senior Tribute Contest (for the last two years it has been the Football Fans’ Choice Contest). People can nominate seniors who participate in fall sports under their respected category and vote everyday. The winner from each category will receive a plaque and one random participant will win $500 from our title sponsor, Grand Strand Nissan, just for participating in the contest. Please help us by nominating and voting for St. James senior athletes in our contest this year incase they are unable to have a complete senior fall sports season.
