Attendance

Absences, Tardies, and Early Release

Our front office handles all attendance needs. Students must be checked in and out of school through the front office.

Early Dismissal: Students may be picked up from school early by an authorized adult before 2:45pm. After 2:45pm, please use the car rider line.

• Please request early dismissal in writing using this form or by sending a written note to the attendance office before school starts in the morning. This process helps us avoid delays locating your student.
• When you arrive, ring the buzzer and let office staff know who you are picking up. Complete the form if you haven't yet and show your license to staff.
• If you need to add or remove people on your child's authorized pick up list, please email Ms. Milian at miliann@gcsnc.com

Late Arrivals: When you drop your student off at school after 8:20, they will check in through the front office. You do not need to accompany them. If they have an excuse note, they can give it to the front office staff.
Absences: After an absence, submit the appropriate documentation using the form, by emailing Ms. Milian at miliann@gcsnc.com, or by a written note that your student brings to the attendance office before school starts in the morning. Failure to submit the appropriate documentation will result in an unexcused absence.
