GMCS Attendance Policy
Any student absent 7 or more days per class per semester (4th-12th) or 7 days per semester (K4 -3rd) is in jeopardy of failing the class and cannot pass the semester unless an appeal is granted by the Administration.

Absences due to student activities are not included in these totals, and extended illnesses or injuries are taken into consideration.
