Absence from School 
If your child is going to be absent from school due to sickness please call Alba in the school office 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM.
Your child should return to school with a note. 
 It is NOT necessary to obtain a doctor's letter for a one or two day absence - a simple letter from a parent stating the reason for the absence will suffice.
If your child is absent more than 3 days then a doctor's letter is in order clearing your child to return to school.
If a child does not have a note (parent or doctor) then the absence is recorded as being illegal as per NYS Education law.
Please remember to read the attendance policy of the regional schools regarding excessive absences in the Parent Handbook.

Reminder 
Tuition Due October 5, 2019 


Reminder that Chocolate Bars are available in the school office or supply room to assist parents with their fund-raising.

A Parent's Guide to the Next Generation Learning Standards

 To help prepare for the transition to the Next Generation Learning Standards, NYSED collaborated with multiple partners, including parents, to develop a resource that facilitates and promotes involvement and engagement. This parent brochure provides a description of the instructional cycle and the role of learning standards in the cycle, an FAQ for the Next Generation Learning Standards, and links to resources to support classroom learning at home.
The parent brochure will be sent home with your child on 
Monday with the October 2019 calendar.
Parents may also right click the link below to open the link in a new window.
