Congratulations to the students, parents, and teachers for all your hard work and dedication. Mantachie School has received the status as a High Performing School.
REMINDER: Students must sign up by Wednesday of each week to receive a Certificate of Attendance to obtain a permit. Certificates will be given on Thursdays. (The law has changed regarding licenses and renewals--no Certificate is required for licenses--only permits.)
The school board policy for absentees as they apply to exemptions has been changed. All absences used to determine exemption must be excused. If a student has any unexcused absences in any class, he/she cannot be exempt from that class. Also, he/she has only two days after the absence to change an unexcused absence to an excused one. Parental notes can cover a maximum of only four (4) days of absences each semester or only two (2) absences for a nine-week class.
