Student attendance is crucial for academic success! It’s essential that students arrive at school every day and on time.

School starts at 8:00 AM, so students should be in the building beforehand to avoid being marked late. Students are allowed to come to school at 7:30 AM for breakfast/homework help.

If your child has a doctor’s appointment, please ensure they either:

• Come to school before the appointment and get picked up early, or
• Arrive at school after the appointment.

Whenever possible, try to schedule appointments outside of school hours to minimize missed instruction.

Important: If your child has an appointment, always bring a doctor’s note to submit at the main office.

If your child will be arriving late or absent due to a doctor’s appointment, please call the school to inform us.

For any attendance-related inquiries, contact Ms. Espinal, our social worker, at (718) 821-4860
