The primary responsibility for adherence to regular attendance rests with the student’s parent/guardian and the individual student. The District will comply with Connecticut State Statutes related to compulsory school attendance. View the full Trumbull Public Schools’ Attendance Policy Grades K-8.

Regular attendance is crucial if you want your child to be successful in school. It is virtually impossible for a child to make up learning that takes place when he or she is absent frequently. Frequent absences create gaps in learning that prevent a child from mastering new content. It is also important for your child to arrive on time to school each day. When he or she is late, it starts the day in a hurried manner and disrupts learning for the rest of the students in class.

If you need to make doctor or dentist appointments for your child, please do so after school hours. If you are planning a family vacation, please schedule it during the school breaks in December, February (long weekend) and April. The Trumbull Public Schools do not condone vacations during school time and staff is not required to provide work for students to take on these vacations.

Students in grades 3, 4 and 5 will be participating in state testing in the spring. Since these are state mandated, high stake tests, it is important that your child be in school during this test window. It is also important that your child arrives on time. If a child arrives once testing has begun, he or she cannot enter the classroom until the test session is complete. If you are scheduling doctor and dentist appointments for your child, please do not schedule them during this test window. It is also imperative that you do not take your child out of school during this time for vacations. Since we have only a few days to complete make-ups for absent children, we administer them in the library media center. Consequently, your child will not benefit from taking the test in his or her own classroom with his or her teacher. Since these tests are used for placement purposes and for special recognition in grade 5, it is important for your child to do his or her best.
