ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES
Whenever a student is absent, verification must be made by the biological parent/court-appointed
guardian via a written note, fax, email, or parent phone call. Regardless of the form of the notification, it
must include the following: (1) Student’s legal name, (2) Student’s Grade, (3) Reason for absence, and
(4) Phone number where biological parent/court-appointed guardian can be reached for verification, if needed.
a. Written Note: If you send a written note, please have your student present it to the attendance office upon their
return to school prior to Mod 1.
b. Fax: Please fax notes to 410-751-3640 on the day of the absence.
c. Email: Please email notes to the following address: [email protected] on the day of the absence.
d. Phone Call: Please phone in your student’s absence to 410-751-3641 on the day of the absence.
If your method of reporting your student’s absence is fax, email, or a phone call, no further written notification is
required. Please note that the school may call the biological parent/court-appointed guardian to verify the authenticity of
an absence notification.
Current policy states that if verification of an absence is not received within 5 days of the student’s return to school, the
absence will be considered unlawful. In addition, students who are absent three or more consecutive days are expected to
provide documentation from a physician.
TARDINESS TO SCHOOL AND EARLY DISMISSALS
The school day begins at 7:30 a.m. Students who arrive to school after 7:30 a.m. must first report to the Attendance Office to
be recorded as tardy to school and to receive a tardy pass admitting them to class. The school day concludes at 2:20
p.m. Students that request an early dismissal from school should bring a written note from a biological parent/courtappointed guardian requesting an early dismissal to the attendance office prior to mod 1 to receive an early dismissal pass.
The principal may grant exceptions for athletes or students involved in extracurricular activities that were tardy or dismissed
early from school for professional appointments such as physician or dental visits. A note from the physician or dental office
must confirm that the missed time was due to the appointment. The student must present the note to the attendance office for
approval and provide the approved note to the coach/sponsor in order for the student to participate. Tardiness resulting from
a court summons must be substantiated by presenting a copy of the summons.
Students who are tardy or dismissed early due to illness, whether through the nurses office or when a parent calls or provides
a note, are considered to have a lawful absence for the portion of the day they missed however they do not meet the
requirements of participation in athletics and extracurricular activities for that day.
Students who present a note identifying an excuse other than one defined by state criteria, or who arrive with no note
identifying the reason for their tardiness, will be considered unexcused for the portion of the day they have missed.
Oversleeping, traffic and/or car problems are not lawful reasons for tardiness to school. Excessive tardiness to school will
result in appropriate disciplinary action being taken by the administrator.

ELIGIBILITY POLICY:
Please remember that the academic eligibility policy is in effect. Participation in extracurricular activities
including athletics, public performances, and/or student leadership positions is regarded as an important privilege
for students. A student becomes academically ineligible if he/she receives a grade of F for any course in which the
student is enrolled during a marking period OR has less than a 2.0 weighted GPA for that marking period. An
indication of Withdrawal Failing (WF) is considered an F for the specific marking period in which it is
received. A grade of Incomplete (I) is considered an F until the work is satisfactorily completed. Quarter grades
are used to determine eligibility. Grades received on the 2nd quarter report card from the 2015-16 school year will
impact all athletics, extracurricular activities, public performances and/or student leadership eligibility starting
February 10th through April 15th.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR REGAINING ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY
As an incentive for academic performance, a student may regain eligibility at the end of the midterm report period when
a) All of the teachers validate the students’ grades and that the weighted marking period GPA to date meets the
minimum 2.0 standard with no F’s and
b) Upon the approval of the principal in consultation with the coach/advisor
The midterm point for this marking period is March 1, 2016. Therefore, beginning on February 26th, any student who feels
they have met the academic standard of a weighted 2.0 marking period GPA with no F’s for all classes in which they are
enrolled during this marking period may come to the main office (no later than March 1st) to receive instructions on regaining
eligibility for playing a spring sport or participating in a spring extracurricular activity.
NON-CUSTODIAL PARENT INFORMATION
Non-custodial parents may receive school records and routine school information unless prohibited by court order. This
information may be obtained in two ways. A non-custodial parent may register in the Home Access Center to receive
electronic access to student information. Or the non-custodial parent may make a request to the principal for information
annually in writing. The request should include the non-custodial parent’s name, address, student name, and the type of
information requested. When a written request for information is submitted to the principal, the custodial parent shall be
notified when such a request has been received by the school. However, the custodial parent may not ‘veto’ the noncustodial parent’s request without a court order.
HOME ACCESS CENTER:
Home Access Center is Carroll County Public School’s parent and student portal. It provides you, as a parent/guardian, with
the ability to access a variety of information about your student(s). You can view their attendance for the year, as well as
their demographic and emergency contact information. You can register to receive an email anytime your student is
absent. You can view your student’s report cards, interim progress reports, schedule, service learning hours and
classwork. You can also register to receive a weekly email containing your student’s classwork and grades as well as see
your student’s HSA scores and transcript information.
If you have not yet registered, we encourage you to do so by visiting the CCPS website at www.carrollk12.org and clicking
the Home Access Center link (in the Quick Links section). From there you will click the ‘Request Password’ link and follow
the directions on-screen. If you have questions or problems, please review the FAQs/User Guide. You will find a link to this
.pdf on the Home Access Center login page as well as the bottom of every screen within the application.
HEALTH ROOM VISITS
We would like to remind parents that students should be encouraged to remain in school if they are able. If they are not in
school, they cannot learn to their full potential. We prefer that students go through the health room to be checked before just
calling a parent to go home. If you get a text or a call from your child to pick them up because they are sick, instruct them to
go to the nurse and the nurse will call you.
5|Page
ELEVATOR USAGE
If your son or daughter suffers an injury or has surgery that requires the student to use the school elevator, you will need to
get a note from the physician. This note must state the nature of the injury or surgery and the length of time the student will
need an elevator pass. The student will need to bring the doctor’s note to the nurse and they will then be issued an elevator
pass. The pass will allow the student to leave class five minutes early to avoid being in the hallway with other students at
times of high traffic.
