Greenwood School District 52 would like for all students to be successful throughout the educational process. Your child’s attendance is a major part of his/her success.

The State of South Carolina has a Compulsory Attendance Law which requires children 5 years of age until the child attains his/her 17th birthday or graduates from high school to regularly attend school. A child 6 to 17 years old is TRUANT when the child has 3 consecutive unlawful absences or a total of 5 unlawful absences.

When a student is truant, school officials will meet with the parent/guardian to complete an Attendance Intervention Plan. If unlawful absences continue, you and your child will be referred to DSS and/or Court for further intervention.

When your child is absent, always bring or send the written excuse when your child returns to school.

Respectfully,
Doris Louden
Attendance Officer

Impacting Students to Change the World

• Children are our first priority in all decision making processes.
• All children should have equal access to a quality education addressing their individual needs.
• Children deserve the services of highly qualified instructional and support service personnel.
• Students benefit from a safe, orderly facility where a learning environment of mutual respect for diversity thrives.
• Stakeholder involvement from parents, community, and businesses partnerships ensures student success.
• All students will learn to read on grade level by the end of third grade and from fourth grade to high school read to learn content required to be college and career ready as required in South Carolina Read to Succeed legislation.
• Students will be college and career ready when graduating from high school.
• Each district employee is a valuable asset in educating children.
• Students learn best when they feel valued and their needs are met.

Greenwood School District 52 will conduct two public forums to discuss the proposed 2021-2022 modified school calendar. The first forum will be held on Tuesday, February 18, 2020 in the Ninety Six High School Cafeteria beginning at 6 PM. The second forum will be held on Thursday, February 27, 2020 in the Ninety Six Elementary School Cafeteria beginning at 6 PM. The meeting will last approximately an hour with an overview of the proposed calendar and how the district plans to address some of the issues raised in other districts trying to implement the modified school calendar. Attendees will be able to ask questions and make comments during the meeting.


A copy of the proposed modified school calendar is located under “important links” on the Greenwood School District 52 webpage (www.greenwood52.org). In addition, a modified school calendar survey may be found in the same location as the proposed modified school calendar. Please take time before or after the meetings to complete this survey. Your input on this matter would be much appreciated.
