Attendance Updates
There are several ways a parent can inform the school of a student absence
- “Report a Student Absence” from the school website on the Home Page https://schools.smcps.org/ghes/
- Email directly to Sheila Bowling the Attendance Secretary at shbowling@smcps.org
- Call the school at 301-863-4064 ext. 21104 and leave a detailed message about why your student was absent
School attendance has a huge impact on a student’s academic success starting in Pre-Kindergarten and continuing through high school. Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students get to school safely and on time every day. Regular and consistent attendance is necessary for student achievement, graduation, and college, and career readiness. A student is now considered habitually truant if they are unlawfully absent for 8 days in a marking period, 15 days in a semester, and 20 days in a school year.
Documentation of an absence must be sent to the school within 3 days of the absence.
