Report a Student Absence
The Principal shall require from the parent or guardian of each pupil a statement of the reasons for any absence. Such communication shall be by a telephone to the attendance office between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m at (973) 887-2065 on the day of absence.
Please indicate the reason for the absence. Such as
Flu-Like illness and fever >100F
Cough and/or sore throat (in the absence of another known cause)
Gastrointestinal illness or other illness
If the absence is to be excused (non-cumulative) a parents' note for absence due to death in the family or religious holiday, or a doctor's note within ten (10)days of the students return to school is required. If a valid excuse is not submitted, the absence will be considered unexcused. Days missed due to personal/family vacation taken during days when school is in session are unexcused absences.
