Greetings Jaguars!
On behalf of the faculty and staff, I welcome you to the 2012
-2013 school year. I hope you had a relaxing summer and are
ready for a great new year at Glen Allen. As we welcome the
Class of 2016, approximately twenty new staff members will
also be joining the Jaguar family. The hallways will be a
little more crowded, but we are looking forward to our first
year with all four grade levels. The first day of school is always an exciting time and we look forward to your return!
I encourage you to read through this newsletter. It provides
important dates and information to help you and your family
prepare for the school year. This information is also available on the school website. Please visit the website throughout the year for daily announcements, calendar updates, and
special events. Additional information concerning athletics,
school functions, and academics can also be found in the
Glen Allen High School user group on School Space.
Parents, we extend a warm welcome for you to get involved
with the PTSA, the Jaguar Athletic Association and our
Booster organizations. These organizations support the many
wonderful opportunities afforded to our students each year.
We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our volunteers
and the support of our parents.
Again, on behalf of the entire Jaguar staff, enjoy the rest of
your summer and we look forward to seeing you September
4th! Go Jags!
Mrs. Weston

Attendance Reminders
Reporting Absences
Parents/guardians should call the school office the morning of
the day their child is going to be absent. The office number
is 501-3300. All absences are considered unexcused unless
the parent calls or sends a note and provides an excusable
reason within 24 hours. Failure to contact the attendance
office will result in an unexcused absence for your student. If
a student misses 10 or more days of school for any reason, a
physician’s note may be required in order to excuse any further absences.
Excusable absence reasons include:
• Student Illness
• Family Illness that necessitates the absence of student
• Death in Family
• Special and recognized Religious Holidays
A request for an excused absence for a special occasion is
subject to approval, in advance, by an administrator. All absences must be excused within 24 hours of the day missed.
****
Late Arrivals
All students are expected to be in the classroom at 9:00
AM. If a student arrives after 9:00 AM, he/she must report
directly to the attendance office to sign in. All tardies are considered unexcused without one of the following: a note from
the parent/guardian stating the excusable reason for the tardy,
a professional note from a medical provider with the date and
time of the appointment, a court appearance summons.
The parent/guardian may accompany the student to the attendance office to sign in and provide an excusable reason for
the tardy. Excusable tardy reasons include:
-Medical or court appointment
-Student or Family Illness
-Special and recognized Religious Holidays
-Other reason(s) approved by an administrator
Oversleeping, running family errands, car trouble and/or
missing the bus are not excusable reasons for being tardy.
****
Early Dismissals
For unavoidable situations that cannot be taken care of before
or after school hours, students will be granted permission to
leave school early if they have a note from a parent/guardian.
All notes must be brought to the attendance office by 8:55
AM and must include the student’s full name, the date,
time for the dismissal, the reason for the early dismissal,
and the full name, signature and phone number of the
parent/guardian for verification. No requests for early dismissals will be taken over the telephone, by email or by fax.
If a student needs to be released early and does not have a
note, a parent/guardian must come to the attendance office and present a photo identification to sign him/her out
and then the student will be called from class. All students
leaving school before 3:55 PM must sign out at the attendance office before leaving the building.
No student will be released to any person who is not authorized by the parent or guardian on the HCPS Permission to Release Form, under any circumstances.
