Attendance and Absence Reporting
Report an Absence: Please call 617-984-8729
Students must bring their homeroom teacher absence notes for absences within two days following their absence. In addition to the note, parents are requested to call their child's absence in to the school on the day of the absence. Failure to provide a written explanation from a parent or guardian for absences may result in a suspension hearing or detention. Students accumulating 18 total absences or more (both excused AND unexcused) will be labeled as Chronically Absent - please strive to avoid this!
Dimissals: A parent or guardian must write a note stating the date, time, and reason for dismissal. The parent or guardian has the responsibility of providing the necessary transportation for the student.
Regular school attendance is fundamental for a student’s academic success and personal growth. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to learn the material, participate in class discussions, and complete assignments.
Excessive absences may impact a student's academic standing and eligibility for certain extracurricular activities. We encourage parents/guardians to prioritize regular attendance to ensure their child's academic progress and overall well-being.
