Student Attendance Policies

Regular attendance is absolutely necessary for learning. When students are absent, they miss classroom instruction and discussion that are difficult to adequately make up, limiting their ability to perform at a high level. Parents are urged to use good judgment and to encourage students to attend class unless absence is necessary.

Hoke McNeal Academy supports the compulsory school attendance laws as set by the State of Georgia and recognizes that punctual, regular school attendance by students promotes academic achievement.

As always, safe travel decisions are under the authority of the parent. If parents determine that travel is not safe for their family and school is open, please notify the office that their child will not be attending or will be arriving late.
