ATTENDANCE (FILE CODE 5113)
Board of Education policy states that students must be in attendance for 164 days in order to be considered to have successfully completed the instructional program requirements of the grade/courses in which they are enrolled. Therefore, all students are expected to be prompt and in attendance when school is in session. Absences may include the following: personal illness, illness in the family, death in the family, an appointment with a doctor (if it cannot be made outside of school hours), religious holidays and unforeseen emergencies. Parents must notify the attendance office at (973) 292- 2200, ext. 8066 when their child is absent.

Tardiness to School
Students who are not in their homeroom by the 7:55 AM bell are tardy and the attendance card will be marked as such. Students entering the building after 7:55 must pick up an admission slip from the Attendance Office. Approved reasons for tardiness are the same as for early dismissal. Late bus arrival will not be marked on a student’s records. All others are unexcused and will warrant an administrative referral after five tardies.
