HSD wants to thank Mr. Harold Hampton for his service to our school district. Mr. Hampton served on our Board of Directors from 2005 until his resignation in February, 2021. We appreciate you, Mr. Harold!
A huge thank you goes out to SEACBEC for the student-made benches for the HHS campus!
This is a reminder about the attendance policy for HES. We have students missing school and trying to complete their work remotely under the idea that this excuses them from the absence or does not count as an absence. Even if the student completes the work assigned, the student is still absent. Unfortunately, we have seen an increase in the number of student absences this year (non-COVID related). Regular attendance is critical to the academic success of your child.
Students are allowed a maximum of six excused absences a semester. After two unexcused absences, the district files a FINS petition with the court. Board Policy 4.7 can be found in the handbook.
Absences also incur when students are checked out early from school. Students need to be in school all day. When they leave early, they are missing lessons.
If your student has been tested for COVID, someone in the household has tested for COVID, or the student or someone in the student’s household has a positive COVID test result, you must notify the District POC immediately at (870) 820-4644. With proper documentation from the department of health and regular communication with the District POC, absences as described in this paragraph will not count against the six excused absences allowed by the handbook.
If you ever have questions or concerns about your child’s attendance, please contact the building administrator, Rosalynda Ellis, at (870) 463-8500 or rosalynda.ellis@hermitageschools.org.
