Absence (Call 203-255-8490)
We believe that regular school attendance is essential for your success as a student. If it is necessary for you to be absent or tardy, please have your parent call us at (203)255-8490. This number may be called anytime of day or at night. If we do not hear from your parent when you are absent, we will call home to verify the absence. It is your responsibility to see that you get any make-up work from your teachers. Parents will be notified when absences exceed five (5) in a semester, Four (4) unexcused absences will result in a truancy referral. (See Truancy Policy)
Absence From School Means Absent From School Activities
A student is considered to be in attendance if present at his/her assigned school, or at an activity sponsored by the school, for at least half of the regular school day. A student who is serving an out-of-school suspension or an expulsion is always considered absent. If you are absent from school or miss more than 1/2 of a day, please remember that you cannot attend the activity scheduled for that same day or evening.
