Important Reminders
- Student arrival begins at 8:45 AM. Classes begin promptly at 9:00 AM. Students should arrive early enough to be in class on time.
- Written documentation is required for all absences and must be submitted within three days after the student returns to school.
- A student may have up to five absences excused by parent notes during each 90-day semester course.
- Parent notes beyond the five-day limit will be considered unexcused unless official medical documentation is provided or the absence is otherwise approved by the principal as lawful.
- School is dismissed at 3:25 PM. Students should be picked up no later than 3:45 PM.
- Students who drive themselves must have parent or guardian authorization before they may be released for an early dismissal.
- No early dismissals will be permitted after 3:15 PM.
Attendance, Course Credit, and Tardies
The school year consists of 180 school days. To receive credit for a 90-day semester course, students must attend at least 85 days and meet all minimum course requirements.
For a 90-day semester course, seat time recovery is required for every unlawful absence after the fifth unlawful absence. A student must attend the majority of a class session during a school day to receive attendance credit for that class.
Any student who enters the building after the tardy bell has rung must report to the main office to obtain a pass to class. Consequences for excessive tardies are listed in the student handbook.
Early Dismissals
An early dismissal may be arranged using one of the following methods:
- A handwritten note brought by the student to the attendance office within the first ten minutes after arriving at school. All handwritten and emailed requests must be verified through verbal confirmation by phone.
- An email from a parent or guardian sent to the attendance clerk at abruss@greenville.k12.sc.us .
- An in-person request made in the attendance office by a parent or guardian listed on the student’s PowerSchool account. A valid photo ID must be presented when the student is picked up.
Returning from an Absence
Any student who misses school must provide a written excuse signed by the student’s parent, legal guardian, or health care professional within three days after returning to school. The excuse should include the date of the absence and the reason for the absence.
If valid written documentation is not received within three days, the absence will be recorded as unlawful. The principal or the principal’s designee determines whether an absence is lawful or unlawful under Greenville County Schools attendance rules.
If attendance documentation is submitted to the student’s home high school, the student or parent must also notify the Enoree Career Center attendance clerk so the absence can be properly recorded at Enoree.
