Reporting Absences

Important Forms on classroom background

EMERGENCY CONTACT 

It is essential that schools not only gather emergency contact records for each child but also make it easy for families to update them as needed and provide frequent reminders to do so.
In an effort to make it as simple as possible for our families to complete the NYC DOE Emergency Contact Form, families are encouraged to visit the NYC School Account to update information annually.  
Please contact Ms. Saldana, our Family Involvement Coordinator, if you need help with your NYCSA.  
We have provided a quick form on this page.
 

Our school community's attendance goal

Attendance matters. Missing a day of school means missing hours of instructional time. Research shows that students who attend regularly achieve greater success in school and in life. This continues to be true—even in in-person or remote learning environments. Our school’s collective goal for attendance remains the same. Whether in-person or remote, we want every child attending school every day or at least 95% of the school year.

ABSENCES 

We understand some absences are unavoidable.  In these cases, it is important to inform the school as soon as possible.  You will receive an email, text or call from the DOE automated system to inform you of your child's absence.  Please note that you will receive this message even if you report the absence in advance.  

If your child is absent, please contact the school in any of the following ways: 

  • Call the Main Office @ 212-694-6020

  • Email your child's Crew Leader, you can find all staff emails on the Staff Directory.

  • An absence note must be sent in when the student returns to school.  You can send in a doctor's note or complete the Absence Reporting Form. 

 

EXTENDED VACATION ABSENCES 

Extended vacations during the school year are not considered excused absences.  We understand that there are emergencies that are beyond our control.  Extended absences create a loss of learning and makes it difficult for students to stay on track for graduation.  In the event of an extended absence, please provide the following to the school:
