Attendance Policy

High School Attendance

Parents are requested to notify the school using School Pass, or call the school on the day of every absence (914-769-6299) and follow the telephone prompts between 7:30 and 8 a.m. Any student arriving after the beginning of first period should report to the Main Office and obtain an admission pass to his/her class. If a student wishes to be excused early, he/she must submit a written request signed by the parent/guardian or a parent call placed to the high school main office.

The High School administration and faculty are concerned about the missed days of instructional time caused by lateness, appointments, vacations during school and students remaining home to prepare for tests. Students should not be absent from school for such reasons, and parents’ cooperation is requested in this important matter. In fact, teachers will be offering a greater weight to class participation.
