Attendance letters will be sent along to families if their child(ren) has had 5 or more tardy or absences.
The District is committed to working with you to ensure that your child attends school daily.
For informational purposes, the following is a summary of some of the Massachusetts General Laws pertaining to attendance. Additionally, the attendance policies of the Sudbury Public Schools can be found in the Sudbury School Committee Policy JH (Student Absences and Excuses).
School attendance is required by law: Chapter 76, section 1 of the Massachusetts General Laws states that all children between the ages of six and sixteen must attend school. A school district may excuse up to seven (7) full-day sessions or fourteen (14) half-day sessions in any period of six (6) months. In addition to this law, each school may have its own attendance policy with which parents and guardians should be familiar.
An excused absence includes:
Documented illness or quarantine
Bereavement or serious illness in family
Weather so inclement as to endanger the health of this child
Religious observances
Other exceptional reasons with approval of the school administrator
An unexcused absence includes, but is not limited to:
Chronic absences or tardies without medical documentation
Truancy
Non-emergency family situations
Family vacations
With regards to family vacations, please note that with increasing frequency, the District has been receiving requests from families for lengthy excused absences for travel. The District is required to comply with compulsory school attendance laws, as well as applicable District policies, and is unable to excuse extended absences from school for vacations. The District’s protocol is to un-enroll students who are absent from school for extended periods of time (three (3) weeks or more) unless there is documentation of medically-excused absences. This applies for trips for family vacations or other personal reasons.
If trends of tardiness or full day attendance reach the criteria mentioned above, a phone call and/or meeting connection will be made by the Principal or Assistant Principal to find a pathway to support you when having your child(ren) attend school regularly by state standards.
