📚 Attendance Matters… Every Scholar, Every Day! 🍎
At Clarendon County School District, we know that showing up is the first step toward success. Every day in the classroom is an opportunity for our scholars to learn, grow, and achieve.
Parents and guardians, please take a moment to review our 2026-2027 Attendance Guidelines to better understand excused and unexcused absences, attendance requirements, parent note limits, and how attendance impacts student success.
✅ Remember:
🍎 Students are required to attend at least 170 of the 180 school days.
📝 Parent notes must be submitted within 3 days of a student’s return to school.
📅 Family vacations and appointments should be scheduled during school breaks whenever possible.
🎓 Good attendance leads to stronger academic performance, meaningful relationships, and greater opportunities for success.
Together, let’s make attendance a priority and ensure Every Scholar. Every Day.

At the “Boots on the Ground” professional development led by Mrs. Wells and Dr. Middleton, teachers first ranked survival supplies individually. Next, small teams compared selections, created a consensus list, and presented their reasoning. We closed by linking the exercise to teamwork and decision-making in our classrooms.
Mrs. Wells' shared her principal's charge with staff, "As we begin this year, let us remember that the success of Scott's Branch Middle High School is not dependent on any one individual. It is the result of a collective commitment to excellence, accountability, collaboration, and service. Together, we will build a culture where every adult feels valued, every student feels supported, and every success is celebrated."
