Oakvale Elementary School's Communities In Schools wants to make it easier for parents to submit excuses for absences. We are launching an online form that parents/guardians can complete using your phones or tablets at home that guarantees the school receives your child's absence excuse. The state of West Virginia has placed a high priority on daily school attendance, and we want to provide our school families with a way to provide written notification of an absence as quickly as possible. Each student received a magnet with the QR code linked to the online absence form on 2/5/2025 to take home.
Each absence is a loss of instructional time. Missing 10% or more of learning days for any reason unexcused or excused makes your student chronically absent. Please refer to Mercer County Schools Attendance Policy J-10 if you have any questions regarding your child's attendance, or you can contact our Communities In Schools Site Coordinator Kendra Mullins at the school.
