Absences and Tardiness
According
to the state of Massachusetts, students may not be absent more than 7
times or 14 half-days in one calendar year. Tardiness is marked by a
teacher at 7:55AM at the beginning of formal instruction, though we
encourage all students to arrive at 7:40AM for morning activities in
their classrooms.
If your child will be out sick, please call
your child’s teacher(s) directly to report the absence and bring in a
note from the doctor for any significant illness. Main number is 617.349.6600; the extension is
the teacher's room number. This is important so that teachers know whether or
not to expect a child at school each day.
