Hunting Reminder
According to the attendance policy established by the Triad Board of Education, hunting is not an excused absence. Students who miss school to go hunting will be charged an unexcused absence. If the student accompanies the parent on a “hunting vacation,” the office must be notified in advance in order for the absence to be excused.
