It is extremely important that you child arrives on time and stay at school for the entire day. One fo the benefits of a year-round school is frequent breaks. Please schedule vacations, doctor's visits, etc. during track-out times.
No students should enter the building before 8:45 unless enrolled in the YMCA.

Attendance

When a student is unable to attend school, parents should call 773-9500 before 9:00. Please state the child’s name, teacher’s name, and reason for absence. Wake County Policy for absences is:
Lawful Absence
*Illness or injury – doctor’s note required after the tenth absence
*Quarantine
*Death in the immediate family
*Medical or dental appointments
*Court or Administrative proceedings
*Religious observance
*Educational opportunity for educational excused absence to be approved, a letter and a completed Wake County Request for *Excused Absence for Educational Reason (Form 1710) must be submitted to Mrs. Culberson two weeks prior to the absence

Without notification (note or phone call) from parent/guardian, absence will be unexcused

Tardies

At Timber Drive we feel that setting a pattern of timeliness fosters responsibility in our students as a life-long habit. Parental support and cooperation with being at school on time is required. Children will be allowed in the building when the first bell rings at 8:45. Instruction begins promptly at 9:15. To ensure your child has adequate time to prepare, students should arrive between 8:45 and 9:00. If a pattern of excessive tardies develops, parents will be contacted by the administration in the form of a letter, phone call or conference. Three tardies will equal an absence as it relates to requirements for make-up work, time, etc.
To accommodate family schedules, the YMCA has an early arrival and after school program at Timber Drive.
* Board Policy 6000.2 provides that to be counted present a student must be in attendance at least one-half of the student school day.
