  • School attendance in Virginia is compulsory and supports your child’s goal of academic success and on-time graduation.

  • Students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged, successful and on track to graduation. Students who are chronically absent (18 days or more per year, or an average of 2 days absent per month) are less likely to experience academic success. attendanceworks.org

  • Please contact Anneke Martin, Assistant Principal, if you have questions or concerns about your child’s attendance, or are in need of support in regard to attendance concerns.
