What happens when you don't attend school regularly? |
The Florida legislature has enacted requirements that schools report to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) the names of those students who have failed to satisfy attendance requirements. Specifically, this refers to those students who accumulate fifteen unexcused (excluding out of school suspension) absences within 90 calendar days or who have withdrawn from school under one of the state designed dropout codes. The legislation further provides that those students who fail to satisfy attendance requirements will be ineligible for driving privileges.
Research has shown there is a direct correlation between good attendance and good grades. Let’s strive to have “EVERYBODY, EVERYDAY “in school this year.

It is extremely important that emergency cards be updated each school year and throughout the school year. These should also include any person who is allowed to pick up your student from school in the event we cannot contact you in an emergency. If your student has an emergency care plan, please be sure to have your doctor update an “Emergency Health Care Plan” form for the nurse so we are aware of any emergency issue involving your student. Any medication your student is required to take during school hours requires a form be filled out. This form “Authorization for School Personnel to Administer Prescription Medication to Student” must be completed by the student’s parent/guardian and the doctor must sign and state how the medication is to be taken. The medication must be clearly marked in its original container. Any questions? Please contact our school nurse, Sheila Labar at 258-4674 ext. 54898
