ATTENDANCE
School Attendance Policy - Parent Guide When Your Child is Absent for the Day
If your child will miss the entire school day:
-
Send an email to adattendance@NYCDOE.onmicrosoft.com
-
Fill out the Attendance form
-
When your child returns to school, they must bring the completed Absence Form to the Attendance Office in Room 103
When You Need to Pick Up Your Child Early
Only people listed on your child's Emergency Contact Card can pick up students under 18. To pick up your child:
-
Sign in at the safety desk
-
Go to the Attendance Office in Room 103 to sign your child out
-
Complete the Early Excuse Form before your child can leave
When Your Child Has an Appointment
Please try to schedule appointments after school hours. If your child must leave early and you cannot pick them up yourself:
-
Send an email to adattendance@NYCDOE.onmicrosoft.com
-
Fill out the Attendance form
-
Complete the Early Excuse Form (pages 1, 2, and 3) one day before the appointment
-
Submit the form to the Attendance Office (Room 103) with the time and reason for leaving
Important: If you allow your child to leave school alone for an appointment, you are responsible for their safety. The school is not responsible once your child leaves without an adult from their emergency contact list.
When Your Child is Sick at School
If your child becomes ill during the school day:
-
Your child must go to the Nurse's Office (Room 604) first
-
Someone from your Emergency Contact Card must pick them up (this applies to all students, regardless of age)
Extended Vacations
Extended vacations during school time are not allowed and will be marked as unexcused absences. Students are expected to be in school on opening day and the first day back after holidays and breaks.
When Your Child Returns After Being Absent
Your child must:
-
Bring the completed Absence Form to Room 103
-
Check Teach Hub or Google Classroom for missed assignments
-
Arrange to make up any missed work
