By law students must attend school daily. Washington County Schools will allow parent excuses to serve as documentation for five (5) personal illness days only. After five (5) parent excused personal illness days, parents must provide medical documentation for additional personal illnesses or family illnesses. To avoid student absences being recorded as unexcused, a written statement signed and dated by the parent and any medical documentation should be presented to the appropriate school official within five (5) days of the student returning to school.

The Attendance & Access Office provides a range of services, including homebound assistance, support for homeless students, foster care enrollment, school choice contracts, and filing Intent to Home School paperwork. For any questions or assistance with these services, please contact the office.
