PARENT/STUDENT RESOURCES
Each student is to submit written documentation following days absent. (Parent or Doctor Note) Additionally, it is important that your child ask for any missed work following an absence. Valuable minutes of instructional time are missed each time your child is tardy or absent. We are committed to providing the best education possible for your child. Regrettably, this process is adversely affected by poor attendance and causes your student to fall behind academically. We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential in the education of children.
We know that you care and are concerned about your child’s success in school, and it is our goal to help in resolving this problem. If you have any questions, please contact your school Social Worker.
Colquitt County Board of Education Protocol for Attendance is as follows:
- Five (5) unexcused days – School based Conference.
- Seven (7) unexcused days – Hearing with School Officials, District Attorney Representative, and Department of Family and Children Services.
- Twelve (12) unexcused days – possible legal action.
Thank you for your cooperation and partnership with Colquitt County Schools and ensuring the best educational experience for your child.
Cada año escolar es siempre un momento emocionante para los estudiantes, personal y familias. A fin de educar a nuestros estudiantes, deben estar presentes y a tiempo cada día. Para garantizar el éxito, les pedimos a los padres que sus hijos vayan a la escuela a tiempo todos los días a menos que estén enfermos. Si su estudiante está ausente por enfermedad, asegúrese demandar una nota a la escuela cuando el estudiante regresa. El presente Protocolo será seguido en cada escuela para los estudiantes que estén matriculados y/o en edad de escolarización obligatoria.
Protocolo de asistencia
Cada estudiante presentará documentación escrita tras días ausente. (Nota del Padre o Doctor) Además, es importante que su hijo pregunte por cualquier trabajo perdido después de una ausencia. Se pierden valiosos minutos de tiempo de instrucción cada vez que su hijo está atrasada o ausente. Estamos comprometidos a proveer la mejor educación posible a su hijo. Lamentablemente, este proceso se ve afectada negativamente por la mala asistencia y provoca que su estudiante falle académicamente. Creemos que un compañerismo fuerte entre el hogar y la escuela es fundamental en la educación de los niños. Sabemos que usted se preocupada por el éxito de su hijo en la escuela y nuestra meta es ayudar a solucionar ese problema. Si usted tiene alguna pregunta, por favor contacte a la trabajadora social escolar.
El Protocolo para la Asistencia de la Junta de Educación del Condado Colquitt es como sigue:
5 días sin excusa – Audiencia con base Conferencia.
7 días sin excusa – Audiencia con los Oficiales Escolares, el Abogado Representante de Distrito y el Departamento de Familias y Servicios de Niños.
12 días sin excusa – posible acción legal.
Gracias por su cooperación y compañerismo con las Escuelas del Condado Colquitt y por asegurar la mejor experiencia educativa para su hijo.
Dress/Grooming
Although dress reflects personal and family choice, students’ dress should be appropriate for school. Students should dress in a manner, which will not distract others from learning nor be offensive in nature. The administrative staff may address any other concerns at their discretion. All staff members are expected to assist in monitoring students. Students wearing inappropriate clothing will be sent to an assistant principal. Grooming is a personal matter that should take place in the privacy of your own home or in the restroom.
