Student attendence is very important and highly correlated with student success. Students are required by law in Pitt County to attend school EVERY day it is in session. Additionally, students may only miss school under an excused absence. PLEASE NOTE: in order for an absence to be considered excused, a student must submit a signed note, by either his/her guardian and/or parent(s), to the office and the absence must be for one of the following 8 lawful reasons to miss school: illness/injury, quarantine, death in the immediate family, medical ro dental appointments, court or administrative proceedings, religious observance, deployment activities, educational opportunity, and short term suspensions.

NOTE - The MORE a student attends school the HIGHER his/her grades.
