New Greenville County Student Dress Code
Greenville County Schools has made changes to the student dress code, which will go in effect beginning the new school year. These changes were made to increase alignment in discipline and dress code practices between schools and to provide more consistency and clarity for parents and students. The specifications of the new dress code can be found in the links below. An English and Spanish Version are provided.
Updated Student Attendance Policy
Greenville County Schools has updated the district’s attendance policy. It is important to note that students must present a written excuse, signed by a parent/legal guardian or a medical professional, for all absences within 3 days of the student’s return to school. The written excuse should include the reason for and the date of the absence. Without a valid written excuse, the absence will be recorded as unlawful. Absences in excess of 5 days for semester classes and 3 for quarter classes will not be considered excused with a parent/guardian note unless accompanied by official medical documentation or approved by the principal. These updates are in effect for the 2024-25 school year and can be reviewed in the student handbook or on the Greenville County Schools website.
The school year consists of 180 school days. To receive credit, high school students or students in middle school taking courses for graduation credit must attend at least 85 days of each 90-day semester course and at least 170 days of each 180-day course, as well as meet all minimum requirements for each course.
In order to receive high school credit after the 10th unlawful absence, “seat time recovery” is required for every subsequent absence that is unlawful. (Note: the 10 unlawful absence limit applies to each 180-day course and should be considered 5 days for each 90-day course and 3 days for each 45 day course.) A student may have up to 10 absences excused by a parent note in each 180-day course and 5 days excused by a parent note in each 90-day course. Parent notes in excess of 10 in a 180-day course, and 5 in a 90-day course, will be considered unexcused unless accompanied by official medical documentation or is otherwise approved by the principal as a lawful. A student must attend the majority of a class session during a school day to receive credit for that class.
