Absence from school is the greatest single cause of poor achievement in school. Regular attendance and punctuality are essential if students are to make use of the educational opportunities that are offered at George Crockett Academy. Recognizing the mandate of "No Child Left Behind Act" as it applies to school attendance, all parents and students are encouraged to limit all unreasonable absences from school. Students of George Crockett Academy are expected to be in attendance on days in which school is held. If your child/children should be absent from school, please remember to call our front office at 313-896-6078.
