The purpose of the Mendham Borough School District Chain of Command is to clarify and simplify the process for contacting the school about a specific concern or matter. Please use the chart below as a guide for determining who should be the primary contact based on the nature of the matter/concerns. One should always start with the individual or office responsible for the area at Level 1 before proceeding up the chain of command as it becomes necessary.

Attendance
The Board of Education has an obligation to require students of this district to be present at school so that he/she may be educated appropriately. This policy is for the benefit of the students, their parents/guardians, and the community at large. This policy is based on the belief that a student must attend class on a regular basis if he/she is to receive the maximum benefit from classroom instruction and profit from the exchange of ideas within the classroom. Absences, for any reason, restrict and inhibit the ability of the student to master and complete the prescribed curriculum requirements and the various subject proficiencies. The Mendham Borough Board of Education and the Hilltop School staff recognize and accept the responsibility to provide a thorough and efficient education for every student and expect the cooperation of students and parents/guardians in this endeavor.
