Surgoinsville Parents,
The school system has been advised that Surgoinsville Police Department officers will issue tickets for illegal passing because of after school traffic. Passing cars have created safety concerns for oncoming traffic. You can assist by doing the following:
Please do not arrive at school prior to the end of school or until the campuses are open for cars to line up.
Please do not pass stopped traffic on the roadway in front of the schools.
Sincerely,
School Administration

What is the difference in truancy and chronically absent?
Chronically absent counts all absences: excused, unexcused, and suspensions and has a high negative impact on school success. Students who miss more than 10% of the school year are considered chronically absent.
Truancy is unexcused absences only. Families who continue to be truant will be required to attend a meeting with school officials and possibly a court appearance.

As we begin the 2nd nine weeks, with only 44 days completed if your child has missed more than 4 days of school they are on track to become chronically absent. If you're unsure about your child's attendance, please consult our school nurse or counselor. They can provide guidance and support to ensure your child's success in school.
