For MGSD, there is a new attendance code for early checkouts that will be going into effect soon:
-
1P – Excused Early Checkout: A student leaves after the half-day mark for an appointment and provides a doctor's note on the next day the student is on campus.
-
2P – Unexcused Early Checkout: A student leaves after the half-day mark but does not provide a doctor's note.
At Mooresville Middle School, our dismissal time is 2:55 p.m. Any student checkout before 2:55 p.m. will initially be coded as an unexcused early checkout (2P). If the student provides a doctor's note the following day, out data manager will update the code to an excused early checkout (1P).
*Reminder: our school day begins promptly at 7:55am. Students entering the building at 7:56am or later are assigned a code of Tardy for that day. Our MMS tardy to school policy is as follows:
1st, 2nd, & 3rd tardy = Parent Square message home + verbal reminder to student of tardiness
4th & 5th tardy = Lunch Detention with Parent Square notice to parent
6th tardy & beyond = Office Referral w/ 1 day ISS consequences
* tardy #7 and beyond restarts the 5-tardy cycle*
**Tardies to school reset to zero at the beginning of each quarter.
