Transportation

All questions regarding transportation for all towns should be directed to that town's transportation office.

Inclement weather reminder: Abbott operates independently but will typically follow Danbury Public schools. Announcements regarding closing are made as early as possible and will come vis Urgent Alert via Parentsquare, followed by Instagram (@abbott_tech) and Twitter (@HenryAbbottTech). CT news outlets are notified after that.

If your home district is delayed or closed but Abbott is open, your transportation will follow whatever your district is doing. Tardy or absence due to delayed or no transportation in your district is excused. If you can provide your own transportation, that is great.

If your local district closes early due to weather, your child will be released from Abbott early. Bus riders, drivers, and parent pickup. Students who 'get a ride' from someone who lives in a different town and their town is being released, will not be released early. Early dismissal is only allowed if the town you reside in is closing. 

To report a student absence: Please contact (Abbott.Attendance@cttech.org) via email. 

For general Attendance questions/inquiries: Please contact Mr. Nadeau (Jonathan.Nadeau@cttech.org) or message him on Parent Square.
