Student Pickup Procedures
If you are planning to pick up your child early from school. Please send an email to shs-attendance@iwcs.k12.va.us by 10:00 am with the time you are picking them up. We will put your child’s name on the early release list. They are responsible for letting the teacher know they have “Early Release.”
Important Reminder: Attendance Policy
Please ensure that all absences for your child are properly excused. To clear unexcused absences:
- Parents may submit up to five parent notes per semester for any reason.
- Doctor's notes are unlimited and can be submitted at any time.
To receive credit for a class, students must not exceed five unexcused absences. Any student with more than five unexcused absences in a class will not earn credit for that class, regardless of their grade. These students will need to go through the Attendance Appeal Process to address the issue.
Please send in all absent notes as soon as possible to ensure your child’s attendance record is updated. Thank you for your cooperation! Shs-attendance@iwcs.k12.va.us
