Absence Tardy Reporting
Attendance & Dismissal Reporting Guide
To ensure your child's safety and help our front office stay organized, please use the following guidelines for reporting any changes to your child's school day.
1. Absences and Tardies
If your child will be staying home for the day or arriving at school after the bell has rung, please notify us as soon as possible.
- Action: Fill out the Absence or Tardy Reporting Form.
- Note: You only need to use this single form for both full-day absences and late arrivals.
2. Changes to Dismissal & Appointments
If your child needs to leave school early for an appointment, is leaving and then returning later, or has a change in their usual afternoon transportation (e.g., being picked up instead of taking the bus):
- Action: Fill out the Change of Dismissal Reporting Form.
- Deadlines: * Before 1:00 PM: Please submit the online form.
- After 1:00 PM: All last-minute changes must be submitted via phone by calling the front office at (978) 443-1080.
Pro-Tip: Frequent dismissal changes can be confusing for students. Whenever possible, please try to submit your requests via the online form before the 1:00 PM cutoff to ensure the information reaches your child's teacher in time!
