Submit a note using this form for your student's absences.
In accordance with the South Carolina Compulsory School Attendance law, the School District of Greenville County has adopted uniform rules to ensure that students attend school regularly. Each day that students are not in school, they miss hours of valuable instruction and opportunities for learning that they will not have again. Students are counted present only when they are actually in school, on homebound instruction, or are present at an activity authorized by the school principal. A student is considered in attendance when present for at least three (3) hours of a school day.
Absences in excess of ten (10) days, whether those absences are lawful, unlawful, or a combination of the two, will not be considered excused with a parent/guardian note unless accompanied by official medical documentation or otherwise approved by the principal as a lawful absence.
A written excuse for a student's absence must be turned in within two (2) days of the student's return to school. An excuse should include the reason for and the date of the absence. If a student has no excuse, the absence(s) will be coded as unverified or unexcused. Only ten parent notes per year will be counted.
If necessary, you may email a scanned medical note to bdavies@greenville.k12.sc.us
