What to Expect

Find high school admission applications and forms on our Domestic Admissions page.

Call or email the high school office by 9 a.m. if your student will be absent for the day.
Please send a handwritten note or email the office to submit a parent excuse for an absence.
A call to the school to alert of an absence does not excuse the absence.
Students will be marked absent if they miss more than 10 minutes of any class period and prior to that will be marked tardy for class.
Students with 9 or more unexcused absences per semester will not receive credit for the class.

Students may leave early if they have a signed note, email,or phone call from a parent/guardian.
Please have students drop off early dismissal notes in the high school office by 8:15 a.m.
All middle and high school students must sign in, in their respective offices.
Text messages from parents are not considered an acceptable form of permission for early dismissals.

Doctor notes from a doctor appointment/illness will be excused when received by the high school office within 48 hours of absence* (or upon return to school). Doctor’s notes may be sent via fax to 434-832-2054 or scanned to email the high school office.
*Absences that have not been excused within the allotted time will be considered unexcused absences.
All absences that do not have an excused note on file, will be considered unexcused. Students may have 9 unexcused absences in a class per semester and still receive credit for the course.
Due to the current challenges with COVID-19, parent excuse notes will be accepted as an excused absence from school. Please send a handwritten note or email the high school office to submit a parent excuse for an absence.

Pick up a planned absence form from the high school office for extended absences.
Have the planned absence form signed by all teachers, your parent/guardian, and administration for approval.
This form does not excuse the absences but makes teachers aware of your student’s absence.
Students are responsible for communicating with teachers regarding any makeup work.

Students will receive a detention for every 5 accumulated tardies to classes per quarter.
Detention will be served before school or during lunch on specified date(s) as determined by administration.
