Attendance and Absences
Regular school attendance is important to student success. Please encourage good attendance by avoiding scheduling of family vacations and appointments during school days. See CCPS Student Handbook for additional information. A written excuse is required when a child is absent. The excuse must be received within 5 school days of the child’s return and contain the date of absence, the reason, and the signature of the parent/guardian. You may also email the excuse by sending it to preattendance@carrollk12.org . Without this information, the absence is coded “unlawful”. A written note from the parent or guardian is required when a child is unable to participate in recess and physical education for medical reasons for a few days. A written excuse from the physician is required when a child is not able to participate in physical education for an extended amount of time.
- To request homework for your child who has been absent for (2) days or more, you must call the school office (410-751-3535) before 10:00 a.m.
- Homework will be ready for pick up in the office between 3:45 – 4:15 p.m. or you can request to have it sent home with another student.
- If your child is absent for one (1) day, they can get make-up work from their teacher(s) when they return the next school day.
Family Travel/Activities
Family vacations during school days are strongly discouraged due to the impact they may have on school performance. However, a small number of absences for family travel/activities may be marked as “excused” if requested in advance and approved by the principal or assistant principal. Factors such as a student’s overall attendance record and academic standing will be considered when approving such requests.

Medication Policy
Parents should make every effort to arrange for medicine to be taken outside of the school day. However, there are occasions when it is determined by an authorized prescriber that a child must receive medication during the school day, either on a regular schedule or in the event of an emergency (such as bee stings, asthma or diabetes). When these circumstances occur, the authorized prescriber must give written approval and specific directions regarding administration. These medication consent forms are to be used for both prescription and over-the-counter medications. Students are not allowed to transport medications to or from school. Depending on the circumstances, violations of the Medication Procedures could be considered a violation of the Carroll County Public Schools Drug and Alcohol Policies, and carry the same consequences as other drug violations. No medication will be administered by the school unless it is in the original container marked for the individual student, and accompanied by the appropriate written permission and directions.
