A Note From the Attendance Office (previously posted)
The responsibility of school attendance is that of both parents/families and students. School attendance is important as it underscores the significance of learning and obtaining an education in our ever-evolving society. Regular school attendance also correlates strongly with improved grades and it helps students develop good work habits that will carry over in life. To aid students in being academically successful, attendance is required for attainment of the Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) standards. The Superintendent has designated the minimum levels of attendance in procedure consistent with state standards.
GCPS Student Handbook - Attendance
GCPS no longer accepts email or handwritten notes from parents when a child is absent. Parents must submit information regarding recent absences, such as doctor's notes, in ParentVUE. More detailed information.
Notes should be submitted within seven days of an absence.
GCPS schools and offices will be closed on MLK Day— Monday, January 19— with students and staff returning to class on Tuesday, January 20.
The birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is observed as a national holiday each year on the third Monday in January. MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities.
The commemoration of #MLKDay as a Day of Service is a call to act on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy as we work together to make our communities more equitable, build bridges, lead with empathy to address social issues, and commit to being of service to each other. Make Monday a day on, not a day off.
