What can families do to help?
❖ Try to make doctor, dentist, orthodontist appointments after the school day or on
  days when students do not have school (digitally or in-person).

❖ Check the school calendar on the McClure Health Science HS Website for dates
  when students are on vacation. Here's our web
  address: https://www.gcpsk12.org/mcclurehealthsciencehs

❖ If your child wakes up late, they can still come to school or log in, and they should
  email their teacher with any questions!

❖ Please call the Parent Center at 770-806-7911 if you have any questions about
  attendance.

❖ When your child returns to school, we need a signed note from a parent or guardian
  explaining the absence. Doctor notes are great, too!
Let’s work together, as a team, to support your child.
