Report an Absence

Tardy/Absence Procedure
All scholars who arrive after 8:55AM are tardy. They must report directly to main office to sign in and be recorded as present. An absence or tardy may be excused by doing one of the following; escorting your scholar to the main office, writing a note, sending an email or leaving a voicemail (617.349.3050). In the event that your scholar must attend a medical appointment please provide a note from the practitioner’s office. Each time your child is tardy you will receive an automated notification, even if the absence or tardy has been excused.

Attendance Policy
After three absences or tardies families will be notified by letter and their child will serve a detention. After six absences or tardies, families will receive a second letter and a phone call from a Guidance Counselor or the Building Substitute to develop a plan. After eight absences or tardies families will be asked to meet with an Administrator. After ten or more absences or tardies, families will be asked to meet with an Administrator as well as a Resource Officer from the Safety and Security Dept. to determine next steps. View the CPS Student Attendance Policy.
