COMMUNICATION WITH P4K

It is very important for the school to have your families’ up-to-date contact information. To make sure we can reach you, please alert us of any changes to your address or phone number by contacting your child’s teacher using-the REMIND APP or by reaching out to the lead teacher at your child’sP4K site

 

REPORTING ABSENCES & LATENESS

If you know your child is going to be late, miss school on a certain day or will be missing school for an extended period, please notify the school in advance by reaching out to your child's teacher on the REMIND APP or contact the lead teacher at your child's respective PK4 site between the hours of 9:00am and 10am. Upon calling, please report the following:

• Your child's name and P4K site
• Your child's class
• The reason for your child's absence or lateness
• Length of the absence (If applicable)

 

EXCUSED ABSENCES

An excused absence may be excused for reasons including illness, injury, transportation challenges due to busing, extended travel, problems accessing technology or getting online during a snow emergency day, family emergency, religious observation, per-arranged appointments.

A note explaining the cause of your child's absence is due on the day your child returns to school.

AND EXCUSSED ABSENCE IS STILL AND ABSENCE! ALL ABSENCES ARE A LEGAL PART OF A STUDENT'S RECORD.

 

UNEXCUSED ABSENCES

An excused absence is when little to no information is provided when a student is marked absent for the day.

 

EXCUSED LATENESSES

Lateness may be considered excused for the same reasons provided for absence (e.g. illness/injury, problems with accessing technology or getting online, religious observation, family emergency, per-arranged appointments, or school or bus delays or documented MTA delays)

 

UNEXCUSED LATENESSES

Unexcused lateness is when a student is not in-person by 10:00 am and the family does not provide a reason for the child's lateness.
