Week of March 13, 2023
Hello ABS Families,
Just a reminder that this Friday, 3/17 is an Inservice Day for Teachers. No school for students.
Student Attendance
Vermont statute and local regulations require that all students attend school each day.
Parents should call the school prior to 8:00 a.m. whenever their child will be absent. If no call is received, the school will call or email home.
A student who is habitually absent may be considered truant. The school will contact the student’s family when a student has five unexcused or five excused absences or days tardy.
If a student has been absent five or more consecutive days due to illness, a note from a doctor may be required, or the absence will be considered unexcused.
In order to avoid being considered tardy, students must be in their homerooms by 8:00 am or immediately following arrival. All students are expected to be in class at all times.
If a student leaves school early or is out sick more than half the day, he or she may not participate in any after school events or activities that day. A student who is absent the last school day prior to a weekend event likewise may not participate in the event. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the administration.
If parent/guardian/caregivers elect that their students miss school for religious reasons, parent/guardian/caregivers must notify the school in writing at least one (1) day in advance. If parents/guardians/caregivers elect for religious reasons that their student remain in school but not participate in a particular activity, they must inform the school administration in writing at least one (1) day in advance, and the school will provide an alternate educational experience for that student.
