Attendance
The Governor Mifflin High School expects all students to attend school daily. The educational program offered by the Governor Mifflin High School is predicated upon the presence of the student and requires continuity of instruction and classroom participation in order for students to achieve academic standards and consistent educational progress. The District encourages cooperation and communication among parents/guardians, teachers, and administrators in upholding the laws regarding attendance, enforcing District policy and providing maximum benefits of education to our students. Compulsory school age previously meant the period of a student’s life from the time the student's person in parental relation elects to have the student enter school, which was no later than eight (8) years of age until the child reached seventeen (17) years of age. Beginning with the academic year 2020-2021, compulsory school age shall mean no later than age six (6) until age eighteen (18). The term does not include a student who holds a certificate of graduation from a regularly accredited, licensed, registered or approved high school. [8][9]
