Attendance
| For a student to take full
advantage of the educational opportunities at Greer High, he/she
should be in attendance each day. Regular attendance and achievement
in school subjects are closely related. For this reason the
following policies concerning attendance are deemed necessary. The
school year consists of 180 school days. To receive credit, students
must attend at least 85 days of each 90-day course and at least 42
days of each 45-day course. Accrued student absences, either lawful,
unlawful, or a combination thereof, may not exceed five (5) days in
a one-unit course and three (3) days in a half-unit course. Any
absence in excess of those numbers may cause the student to lose
credit for the course.
All absences shall be approved or disapproved by the principal (or his/her designee) in accordance with the following guidelines: Lawful Absences 1. Personal illness of a child shall be verified by a statement from the parent or a physician within two (2) days of the student’s return to school. Absences for chronic or extended illness will be approved only when verified by a physician’s statement. 2. Serious illness or death of an immediate family member shall be verified by a statement from the parent within two (2) days of the student’s return to school.
