It is the expectation of the school that if classes are being held, all students should be in attendance. Please plan your vacations, camp enrollments, and time away, when classes are not being held.
Decisions to make up days missed due to inclement weather will be made each year using SACS standards as our guideline. In order to comply with SACS, it is possible that modifications to the calendar may be made.
