Absenteeism
If your child is going to be absent, please notify the School at 718 388-9494. In order for an absence to be considered excused, a written note must accompany the student the first day back in class. The note should include the date returning, child’s name, date absent, and the reason for the absence. Any absence for which the School does not receive appropriate notification will be unexcused. Excessive or unexcused absences from School are detrimental to the educational process.
