Absences

If a student is absent, the parent/guardian must call the school to notify the school of the absence. (908)879-5324, choice 1. We ask that calls are made by 9:00AM. We will be calling the homes of children for whom we have not received absentee reasons for to ensure the safety of our students. 

You may request missed work after the second consecutive day of absence by contacting your child's teacher(s) directly.

Please refer to Chester Board of Education Policy 5113 for more information:
