To Report An Absence

An answering machine is available 24 hours to record absence messages. The guidelines are as follows:

Day of Absence or Tardy: Call 201-670-2730, Ext. 1, or you may email the teacher and email the main office before 9:00 a.m. to notify the school whenever your child will be absent or tardy. The system will prompt you to leave a message in the appropriate area.

Child will be absent or tardy on a future date: Send a note to the teacher and the main office. After 9:00am, call the office at 201-670-2730 to speak to the main office staff.

Note: It is important to include the main office on any email communication, as the teacher may be absent and we will not be aware of the absence.

Picking up your child early: Give advanced notice to the teacher AND the office so we can have your child ready.

Lunch order cancellations: Must be made through the website by 6:00 a.m. Do not leave lunch cancellations on the absence line.
