What do I need to do to enroll my child at your school?

an apt.
You will need to bring the following to the apt.:

to bring this in)

On the day of your child's absence call the school at
410 313-2836 by 9:00 A.M. and leave a message that your child is
absent.
and why.
When your child comes back to school send him/her in with
a note for Mrs. Rice, the guidance secretary.
--------------------------------------
What do I do when my child is late for school?
If your child is late to school, he/she must bring a note from home and
report immediately to their first period class. If a child arrives after
7:50 am, he/she should report to the Guidance Office with a note.
--------------------------------------
What do I do when my child needs to leave school early?
If your child needs to be dismissed during the school day, have your
child bring a note to Mrs. Rice in the Guidance Office in the MORNING.
He/She will be given a pass for early dismissal. Also, when picking your
child up, please sign your child out in the Front Office. If your child
returns the same day, please sign him/her back in with the time of
return, so that our attendance records are as accurate as possible.
--------------------------------------
What is the new attendance policy?
As of June, 2005, the new policy for attendance states that if a student
leaves school before one full hour of attendance, he/she is marked as
absent for a FULL day instead of a HALF day. By state law, school
attendance is compulsory for students ages 5 through 16. A student is
counted present for a full day if a student is absent no more than one
hour of the school day. A student is counted absent for a full day if the
student is present for less than one hour of the school day. A student
may be credited with half day attendance if the student is present for
more than one hour of the school day and is absent for more than one
hour of the school day. An explanatory note from the parent should be
submitted to the school indicating the date and reason for tardiness or
absence from a regular school session. A doctor's certificate is
required in cases of long-term absence. A note should also be
submitted to request early dismissal or exclusion from activities
(i.e., PE). Chronic absences are referred to the Office of Student
Services. Parents wishing to take a family trip on school days must
request permission in writing at least two weeks in advance of the trip
for the absences to be excused and the their childrem to be allowed to
make up the work they have missed. A maximum of three days will be
considered an excused absence.
