Attendance and Truancy
North Carolina law defines a student with 10 unexcused absences as truant. Our process includes: parent notification at 3, 6, and 10 days unexcused, a follow-up phone call, a school meeting, and possibly a home visit. Continued absences may be referred to the district attorney or juvenile court. Early support makes a difference—let’s work together.
McKinney-Vento Support
The McKinney-Vento Act provides resources and support for students experiencing housing instability, ensuring they can remain enrolled and connected to their school community. Click below to learn more about eligibility and services.
