MSD of Martinsville's Attendance Policy states after 6 days of absences, regardless of reason, any future absence must have medical or legal documentation or the absence will be unexcused.
After the 10th day of unexcused absences, the school is legally responsible to file a DCS attendance educational neglect form.
Bring ID
Also, please note only guardians/parents are allowed to make dismissal changes. The school will use listed emergency contacts only when we can't get ahold of guardians/parents. Emergency contacts are not allowed to freely pick up students.
