ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance is essential for a child's success in school. It is
also a requirement established by the State of New Hampshire. Listed
below are excerpts from two state statutes relative to this matter.
* RSA 193-1 "Every person having the custody of a child shall cause
the child to attend such a school during all the time the public
schools are in session." This indicates that children between
6-16 years of age must attend school.
* RSA 193.2 "Any person who does not comply with the requirement of
this subdivision shall be guilty of a violation and any fines
collected hereunder shall be for the use of the district." This
indicates that this is a parental responsibility to have a child
attend school.
Students shall remain on school grounds during the entire school day
unless granted permision to leave by authorized personnel.
If your child has been ill or running a fever the night before a school
day, please do not send your child to school until his or her
temperature has been normal for at least 24 hours. A note should
accompany your child upon his/her return to school.
REPORTING ABSENCES
The office is equipped with a phone answering device between the hours
of 6:00 A.M. AND 7:30 A.M. Parents should notify the office each day
that their child is absent. Be brief, as there is a 20 second time
limit. Please call 485-9574 and provide the following information:
1. Student's name.
2. Teacher's name.
3. Date of absence.
4. Reason for absence (illness, family emergency, medical appt.
etc.)
5. Caller's name and relationship to student.
6. Phone number where you can be reached during the day.
During your child's absence, important work and notes will be gathered
and made available to you. Please call the school office by 10 A.M. the
day of your child's absence to request the work. Material will be
available for pick up in the office after the regular school day.
HEALTH INFORMATION
Students who become ill in class will be sent to the nurse and cared for
by the nurse or a member of the office staff. It is very important that
we have an emergency card on file for every student so that we may
contact parents in case of accident or illness and to be advised of
special medical problems. Please update your child's emergency
information each time a change occurs.
