| School Attendance |
| |
| New York State Educational Law requires
that every student between the ages of 6 and 16 be enrolled in a public,
private or parochial school, or an approved home instruction program. The
Central Square Central School District believes that academic achievement
depends on regular attendance. We urge parents to make school attendance a top
priority for their children.
When a child misses school, the parent must send an
excuse with the child upon his/her return and must state the reason for the
absence. If an excuse is not received, it will be marked as an illegal absence.
It is unlawful to be absent from school for: hair
appointments, baby-sitting, shopping, hunting, and vacations. The only legal
absences are for doctor appointments, dentist appointments, illnesses, and
funerals for relatives. We work to eliminate illegal absences and we appreciate
parental assistance in this task. Parents will be notified of any attendance
problems. In the rare incidence where the situation cannot be resolved, Family
Court will be notified.
Central Square Central School District has a procedure
in place to notify parents if their elementary school child is absent. If you
would like to have the school notify you whenever your elementary school child
is absent, please send a written letter of request to the principal of your
child's school. You will then receive further information on the program.
