School Attendance

Attendance is a team effort - parents, students and all faculty and staff at ACM help in ensuring every student attends school.

Healthy children MUST ATTEND SCHOOL, it is a STATE LAW https://ed.sc.gov/districts-schools/student-support/chronic-absenteeism/attendance-every-day-brochure/

What do I do if my child is sick?

1. Keep them home (https://scdhec.gov/sites/default/files/media/document/2023-2024-School-Childcare-Exclusion-List-08.1.2023_0.pdf)

2. Email the Abner Creek Middle School Attendance Secretary Nikki Thomas nikki.thomas@spart5.net

3. If your child goes to the doctor, please send in the doctor’s note

4. If you don’t take your child to the doctor, send in a parent note (PN). You can print and complete this form, Parent Note.

Every child is allotted five (5) PNs per semester, after which, the child must provide a doctor’s note to be in compliance with the SC Truancy law
