April 4, 2024 ATTENDANCE BLAST

Hello IS10Q Families,

This is a reminder that student attendance is critical this spring! Students are expected to be here every day when they are healthy. All students were sent home with an updated attendance report recently. Additionally, students designated “chronically absent” or at risk of being “chronically absent” were sent home with a letter last week. The spring is an opportunity to improve your child’s attendance!

When your child is not here, they are not learning. More time in school means your child will get the social-emotional and academic support they need to thrive, learn, and be happy. Did you know that a student with 90% attendance has missed one month of school by the end of the year? We are here to support you and are available to schedule a meeting with you if you have attendance concerns. Please review our attendance policies and procedures below.

Thank you for ensuring that your child is in school and ready to learn each day!

Reporting Absences

Parents or guardians should report absences daily before 8:20am by emailing Ms. Pepe at [email protected]

NYC DOE Attendance Policy

Attendance is a required, legal record

A child who does not attend school must be marked absent, even if the absence is excused. Excused absences are still absences on your child’s record.

Please provide attendance-related documentation to the main office or email [email protected]
