Updates andInfo from Dr. TFarley Elementary School - November 8, 2024

Greetings!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Veteran's Day Program. Special thanks to Col Sheronda Span who took time to speak to our families. Check out our Farley Facebook Page to see the highlights. Enjoy Monday (Nov. 11) as we honor the contributions of so many Farley-affiliated military families.


IMPORTANT - Due to the accident or wreck on Green Cove earlier this week, our phone lines were cut and are currently being repaired. Please email or use ClassDojo to communicate. We are hopeful that a solution is reached by Tuesday.

Attendance Attendance

Parents may excuse only 8 days for the entire school year.

Parents - remember that excuse notes must be submitted promptly. The HCS expectation is that within 3 days, a parent or doctor's note is submitted to the school. After 8 excused absences (not individual notes), students must have a doctor's note. A student checked out before 11:30AM is considered absent unless they check back in.


Farley Elementary's Chronic Absenteeism rate is around 6%, which lower than our surrounding schools. However, when schools receive their Report Card scores, 15% of the total grade is based on the percentage of students who are Chronically Absent. We lost one point on our Report Card Grade. I would like to get that point back this year, which means our CA rate needs to be less than 3%.


Chronic Absenteeism is defined as a student missing 18 or more days for the school year, regardless of reason.
