Any absence from class is therefore detrimental to the learning process. The attendance policy is intended to encourage full attendance by students and limit the level of absences, tardiness, and early departures (ATEDs) from school. Excused ATEDs are defined as absences, tardiness, and early departures from class or school due to personal illness, death in the immediate family, approved family emergency, religious observance, required court appearances, medical appointments, approved college visits, and approved school activities. All other ATEDs are considered unexcused absences. It is the parent’s responsibility to notify the school office within 24 hours of the reason for the ATED and to provide a written excuse upon the student’s return to school. If after three school days the school has not been notified to the contrary, the absence will be considered unexcused. attEndancE officE - tElEPhonE nuMBErS Elmont memorial 488-9251 Floral Park memorial 488-9351 h.
