CALLING YOUR CHILD OUT: Please remember to call the main office before 8AM if your student is going to be absent. To assist us in keeping our students healthy, please let us know the reason for the absence so we can trend illnesses. If you are planning a vacation or extended days absent, please alert the main office, not just the classroom teachers. Please remember to call your child out for lateness or absence. Attendance phone # 856-423-0613.
Please note that an absence is considered excused if a child presents a teacher with a note from a physician. After the 3rd consecutive absence, a doctor's note is required to return to school. A note from a court of legal jurisdiction due to a court appearance will also count as an excused absence. All other absences are considered unexcused.
