mentary School principal, re
minds all parents that state
attendance law requires all
students to attend school for 165
of the 175 days each year This
allows each student 10 days
unexcused absences
Bailey stated that a student
may be excused if he is ill and
has a doctor's signed statement
concerning the absence sent
to school or if there is a death in
the immediate family and the
parent sends a note of
explanation to school
According to the law d a
student is absent more than 10
days and does not have an
acceptable reason he cannot be
given credit for the year's work
and would therefore be re
tamed
