HERE! Attendance Contract
Attendance on a daily basis is a mandatory requirement of all students.  To assist Hampton City Schools families with becoming familiar with the attendance expectations for elementary, middle, and high school, parents and children are required to sign the HERE! Attendance Contracts.  This is just to ensure that the expectations and legal responsibilities are understood.  Please select the appropriate link for your child’s grade level to view or obtain a copy of the contract.
