ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES

• In the event your child is going to be absent from school or tardy to school for any reason, it is necessary for you to call 732-946-0055.

• Follow the prompts to report your child’s absence.

• State your child’s name, grade level, homeroom and reason for absence.

• If your child is ill, report symptoms of student illness clearly so that trends in student illness may be reported to the Monmouth County Health Department.

• Each time a student is absent, parents will receive an automated phone call via the School Messenger System.

• School Messenger does not have the ability to override this system so that phone calls are issued only to those families that have not informed the appropriate school of a student’s absence. Therefore, phone calls will be issued to the parents of all absent students.

• Please continue to call our student absence line in the event your child will be absent from school, and disregard the automated message that you will receive later in the day.

• Upon your child’s return to school, please send in a note verifying your child’s absence from the physician or from the parent.

• A note from a parent or physician is required so that your child’s absence may be changed from “unexcused” to “excused”. Your assistance and cooperation is essential in making this process effective.
