• Attendance:

  The parent/guardian must submit a note, or email to the homeroom teacher and attendance clerk five (5) school days for an absence to be considered excused. Attendance email: kcorso@forsyth.k12.ga.us. The note must include the student’s name, the date(s) of absence(s), and the reason for the absence. It is the responsibility of the parent(s)/guardian(s) to be in communication with the student’s teacher(s) and/or office staff when a student is absent, especially when it is for more than one day. The principal may require students to present appropriate medical or other documentation upon return to school for the purpose of validating that absences are excused. ★ Non-School related activities and trips/vacations are unexcused absences ★ Students must be in school in order to participate in afterschool activities

• Late Check-In Or Early Check-Out: An unexcused late check-in or early check-out is defined as any time a student arrives late to school or leaves school early for a reason other than those defined by the State Board of Education as an excused absence. Students who miss more than half of the time in any class will be considered absent for that class period. When possible, medical and dental appointments should be made outside of school hours. If a student is being checked in or checked out for a doctor’s appointment, a parent note, physician’s note, or appointment card is required within 5 school days to be considered excused. After the tenth late check-in or early check-out, a physician’s note or appointment card is required within 5 school days to be considered excused. ★ Late Check-in - School begins at 8:20 am. In order to be considered present, your child must be in their classroom by 8:20 a.m. Your child will need at least 5 minutes to get to their classroom, so they will need to be out of the car by 8:15. ★ As of 8/2022, all parents will be required to check in their child through our new automated Checkmate System. ★ Early Check-out (No check-out after 2:30pm). If it is necessary for a student to check out early due to illness, the student must be assessed by the school nurse and meet assessment criteria for the school to excuse the absence. Parents may submit a note to excuse an early check-out due to illness. Students who are frequently absent, tardy, or check out early from school may be required by the school administration to provide medical documentation to validate any absence, tardy or early check-out as excused.
