The e-mail must include the date of absence, child’s name, grade, the reason for the absence and the parent/guardian name reporting the absence and phone number. 

OR

2.        A phone call to the school attendance hotline (610) 938-6110. The message should include the student name, grade, date, the name of the parent/guardian calling, a phone number, and the reason for the absence. A call must be followed-up with a written excuse note or email within three days. If a written excuse is not submitted within this time period, the absence automatically becomes unexcused.

Late Arrivals and Early Dismissals

Written notes are required for all late arrivals and early dismissals. Late arrivals and early dismissals remain unexcused until a note is received.  If the late arrival or early dismissal is due to a medical or dental appointment, additional documentation from the medical office must be provided to be excused.  The appointment verification can be faxed to 610-938-6105 or dropped off in the Main Office. 

Excuse for Absence and Late Arrival/Early Dismissal Cards can be picked up in the Main Office. 

 Safe2Say

Students in all grades have received the annual information about using Safe 2 Say Something. 

Safe2Say Something is a youth violence prevention program run by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General. 

The program teaches youth and adults how to recognize warning signs and signals, especially within social media, from individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others and to 

“say something” BEFORE it is too late. 

With Safe2Say Something, it’s easy and confidential to report safety concerns 

to help prevent violence and tragedies.

Here’s how it works:

Submit an anonymous tip report through the Safe2SaySomething system

Crisis center reviews, assesses and processes all submissions

Crisis center sends all submissions to school administration and/or law enforcement  for intervention

If needed, crisis center may contact tipster anonymously through the app

More information can be found at:  www.safe2saypa.org
