What is good attendance? 

Missing school one-day or less each month or no more than nine days a year.

In brief, Virginia law:

* requires parents to send children to school

* requires students to attend school

* requires schools to take specific actions when children are not enrolled or students fail to attend

* authorizes law enforcement officers to pick up students who are skipping school

* authorizes juvenile courts to take action against parents and/or children for failure to attend school

Parents can verify their student’s absences by using one of the following methods:
