The written excuse should include the reason for and the date of absence. Without a valid written excuse, the absence will be recorded as unlawful. Absences in excess of 10 days will not be considered excused with a parent/guardian note unless accompanied by official medical documentation or approved by the principal.

2024-2025 Lockers and Cell Phone Expectations

Attention! Attention! There is a change for the upcoming school year at Mauldin Middle School. Our students will not be using lockers. All students will carry a backpack each day with all of their belongings. Go ahead and purchase a backpack so your student is ready on the first day of school!

Cell Phones

Cell phones and other electronic devices must be powered down and placed in backpacks from the time the student is dismissed from morning holding or enters the building after morning holding has been dismissed, until the 3:15 bell. If a student has a need to call home during the school day, the student can ask for permission to visit the front office to make the call from a school phone.

Violation of the cell phone expectation will result in a disciplinary referral and In School Suspension.

To change your address, phone numbers or emergency contacts:

Use your Backpack account to update your contact information. You’ll need to scan a copy of a recent utility bill* or Change of Address Form. Please notify the school directly as you must provide two proofs of residency.

If your child will be a bus rider, you’ll also need to indicate that in Backpack or complete the Transportation Form, which is available on the district website.

*All address changes must include a current bill dated within past 30 days from either Duke Energy, Laurens Electric, Piedmont Natural Gas, Spectrum, or Greenville Water System.
