Attendance
Philosophy
The Putnam County Board of Education believes that regular school attendance is vital to a student's academic program. Statistics indicate that classroom grades and test scores improve with good attendance. In order to realize maximum instructional benefits, students must attend school regularly and be on time to classes. Regular school attendance and punctuality develop self-discipline and responsibility. Not only must the compulsory school laws be enforced, but also regular attendance for all students must be encouraged and expected.
