Updated Information Dear 8th grade Middle School Parents Only, I hope this message finds you well. Attached you will find the letter to be sent out to parents regarding attendance for High School Credit courses. Please note that this letter only applies to students currently enrolled in the following High School Credit courses: • Algebra 1 Honors • English 1 Honors • Fundamentals of Computing This is a reminder as this information was initially communicated at the beginning of the school year. Additionally, we want to inform parents that any students who have exceeded 10 absences will be contacted directly by school administration. Seat time recovery dates will be shared shortly for those students. Please be advised that there will be a fee of $10 for each seat time recovery session. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Kevin S. Branham, M.Ed. Assistant Principal Georgetown Middle School 2400 Anthuan Maybank Dr. Georgetown, SC 29440 843-527-4495

8/14/24 Dear GMS 8th grade Parent/ Guardian, We are writing to let you know that your 8th grade student is currently enrolled in a high school credit course. These courses include Algebra 1 Honors, English 1 Honors, and Fundamentals of Computing. Upon successful completion of these courses, your student will have earned a high school credit. It is vitally important that you encourage your student to do well in these courses because it will be their first academic marks on their high school transcripts. These courses fall under the South Carolina high school credit attendance policy which states the following: SC ATTENDANCE LAWS MANDATE MINIMUM SEAT TIME REQUIREMENTS (120 HOURS PER CLASS) FOR CREDIT-BEARING COURSES. STUDENTS MAY ONLY MISS: • 10 DAYS IN A BLOCK SCHEDULE CLASS (90 DAYS) • 10 DAYS IN A YEAR-LONG CLASS (180 DAYS) • 5 DAYS IN A NINE WEEKS CLASS (45 DAYS) ABSENCES, WHETHER EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED, COUNT TOWARD A LOSS OF SEAT TIME. EXCEPTIONS: FIELD TRIPS, COLLEGE VISITS (3 PER SEMESTER), & SCHOOL SPONSORED EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. EXCESSIVE ABSENCES MAY RESULT IN CREDIT DENIAL AND MAY IMPACT A STUDENT'S PROMOTION OR RETENTION STATUS. STUDENTS CAN COMPLETE SEAT TIME RECOVERY TO MAKE UP REQUIRED HOURS AND ASSIGNMENTS. SEAT TIME RECOVERY CANNOT EXCEED 10 DAYS BEYOND THE ALLOWABLE AMOUNT REFERENCED ABOVE. STUDENTS WHO FAIL TO MAKE UP SEAT TIME WILL RECEIVE AN "FA" (FAILURE DUE TO ABSENCES). CONTACT YOUR STUDENT'S SCHOOL FOR MORE INFORMATION. We will be monitoring the absences for every student taking a high school credit course and will reach out if your student becomes truant due to their attendance. At this time we have not decided how seat time recovery will occur at the middle school level, but will update everyone as soon as we have a plan. If you have any questions please reach out to Mrs. Bourne, Mr. Cox, or GMS school administration. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
