Attendance

At the Attendance desk in the main lobby, students can check in 678-714-5902
and out, obtain certificates of enrollment, turn in notes for
absences, and obtain bus passes. We expect students to attend Attendance Office Direct Line
school every day, be on time and be prepared to learn. Students
who are frequently absent from school have a difficult time being successful and completing make-up work.
Students are officially counted absent for the day if they miss four or more periods in one school day.

Students, if you are absent from school, you will need to bring a note to the attendance desk first thing in the
morning on the day you return to school.
The note must be written and signed by a parent or guardian.
The note should include your full name, your student ID number, the date of the absence, reason,
parent/guardian signature, and phone number for verification.

Please contact the Attendance Office for more information regarding pre-planned absences, excused absence

requirements and other attendance related issues.
