Attendance

Absence Notes - Excuse notes from parents/doctors must be turned in to the attendance office within 3 days of the absence in order for the absence to be excused. Absence notes may be personally delivered to the attendance office, faxed to 770-716-3977, or uploaded using this FORM.  Notes will not be accepted via email.  Please see the handbook for a list of excused absences.   

Same-Day Check-out/Check-in - Students who check out and back in the same day to go to the doctor/dentist must bring in a doctor’s note when they return. This is considered as one occurrence.

Check-out/Student Drivers - Student drivers who wish to check out must bring a signed note, including a contact phone number, from a parent to the attendance office in the morning OR the parent can complete this online WHS Check-Out Request Form (the online form must be completed by noon on the day of the check-out). Parents may also fax the check-out note to 770-716-3977, however, it may not be received immediately. A student may not leave campus until the attendance secretary has spoken to a parent/guardian.

Check-out/Parent Pickup - Students checking out early who are being picked up by a parent are not required to have a note from the parent. Notes for check-outs are not accepted over email. The student will be called from the classroom when the parent arrives. The person checking the student out must come to the attendance office to check the student out and must have a government-issued ID. Parents can also complete this online WHS Check-Out Request Form.

College Visit Forms - College visit forms are to be completed by juniors and seniors prior to the planned visit.
