Attendance
Students have a right to 180 days of meaningful learning experiences. Students have the responsibility to attend school regularly in accordance with the district attendance policy. Parents have the responsibility to make certain their children attend school each day except in the case of illness or other unavoidable circumstances. Parents should encourage positive attitudes regarding punctuality and attendance. A record of student tardiness and absenteeism is kept by the school. If a student has to be absent from school, parents must notify the school at (475) 220-2500. You must also send a note to school indicating the date(s) the student was absent and the reason for the absence. For verification purposes you must send in a note even if you call the school.
Please be aware that any student with 5 unexcused absences will receive a letter from the school, and according to the New Haven Board of Education Policy any student who reaches 20 unexcused absences will be referred to DCF. *Students coming to school late are required to have a parent come to the main office and sign them in. No students arriving late should be just dropped off at the main office. Students must be in attendance at school on the day of a field trip or extracurricular activities in order to participate. This includes after school events.
