Attendance

School begins at 7:28 AM in the morning. Any student arriving in their classroom after 7:30 AM  will be marked tardy.  

Please contact the attendance office concerning absences, tardy and early sign-outs. All documents (medical excuses, parent notes, etc.) must be turned in within 3 days of any absences. 

Remember:  Horry County Schools attendance policy:   3+ consecutive unexcused absences, 5+ accumulative unexcused absences or 10+ unexcused tardy/early sign-outs will result in an AIP (Attendance Intervention Plan) being implemented.  

Please send attendance notes to KEattendance@horrycountyschools.net
