Late Check-In (OSHS)

Students who check-in to school later than 35 minutes after the tardy bell will be considered to be absent from that class. This will be listed as an unexcused absence unless the absence that is verified by the parent in person or by phone, or by written documentation from a doctor, lawyer, etc., and for which the cause is listed in the Mississippi Compulsory School Attendance Law is considered excused. The late check-in absence will be unexcused if the absence is not verified by the parent/guardian, if the student has exceeded two allowed parental absences, or if the student does not have written documentation at the time of check-in.
