ICSAtlanta Attendance Policy
Research shows that consistent school attendance is crucial to student success. Our attendance policy works to create a framework to support attendance and is also in compliance with GA State Compulsory Laws. Check out page 11 in the Student Handbook for more information
Excuse notes
If your student is absent for a purpose that is considered excused (see handbook) please send documentation within 5 days of your student's absence. Excuse notes must be received in hard copy. Electronic notes (including email notification) cannot be accepted. The excuse note will be filed and the student's record will be updated to reflect the excused absence.
