What is the policy if my child is absent or late?
Whenever your child is absent from school, please call the office before 8:30 on the day of the absence or anytime before the day of the absence and leave a message with your child’s full name, the reason for the absence, anticipated date(s) of absence, and the teacher’s name. The voicemail is on whenever there is not someone in the office. Our telephone number is 781-861-2520. We will check teachers’ absence lists with parent calls. If your child has been marked absent, but you did not call him/her in, we will make every effort to contact you or your emergency contacts. It is not necessary to send in a note once your child has returned to school. Children who arrive to the classroom after 8:45 must stop in the office, accompanied by an adult, to sign in. A child not in the classroom at 8:45 a.m., according to the school office clock, is considered tardy.
