Attendance

Report an absence, lateness, or early dismissal

Students are required to be at school every day when school is in session. PLEASE COMPLETE THIS ATTENDANCE FORM TO REPORT YOUR CHILD'S ABSENCE, LATENESS OR EARLY DISMISSAL .

REPORT AN ABSENCE: If a student must miss school, the parent or guardian must report the absence by completing the ATTENDANCE FORM by 9:30 AM. A note from a doctor’s office is required after three days of consecutive absences. 

REPORT A LATENESS: Please  complete the ATTENDANCE FORM if your child will be arriving more than 30 minutes late.  A note from a doctor’s office is required upon late arrival to school after a medical appointment.

REPORT EARLY DISMISSAL: We encourage parents to make medical or dental appointments after 3:00 PM. However, if your child needs to leave school early, please complete the ATTENDANCE FORM before 9:30 AM that day.  Alternatively, your child may bring a note to the main office before first period class.  The main office will prepare a pass to be given to your child at the time of departure.

The ATTENDANCE FORM should only be completed by a parent/ guardian using a verified parent email address already on file. Students should NOT use this form to self-report their lateness or absence.
 
If you are unable to access this form, please email 02M418_attendance@groups.schools.nyc. Include the student's name, grade, date of absence/ lateness, reason and a phone number to contact you in case the Attendance Team needs to follow up.

Whether or not the school has been notified, parents will receive an automated email or text message from NYC Public Schools to the contact information listed in their NYC Schools Account.  

 

Upon returning to school, students are required to bring a a medical note or note from their parent/ guardian to explain the absence. This is to ensure the student has a conversation with each teacher about missed assignments. Students should have the note signed by all of their teachers before submitting it to the main office; otherwise, the absence will be marked as unexcused. 

A handwritten note is acceptable or please feel free to use our  ABSENCE EXCUSE FORM.
