Attendance Policies

  • If your child is absent, please email attendance@ps321.info with your child’s full name, classroom number/teacher’s name.
  • Click here to view the Attendance Policy.
  • If your child is missing more than 5 school days due to holiday travel, you must also provide flight information which should include your child’s full name along with the departure and arrival dates.
  • Please note that according to DOE policy, after 10 consecutive days of absence an investigation will open that cannot be closed until the child returns.
  • If your child had a Dr.’s appointment, please provide a note via email or in person to excuse the full day’s absence or lateness.
  • Doctor’s notes are not needed for appointments mid-day where the child returns to school as they will still be marked present for the day.
  • If your child receives any kind of diagnosis from a doctor (strep, flu, conjunctivitis, fifth disease, etc.) you MUST provide a doctor’s note for us to have on file. There are a lot of different illnesses going around and it is important that we keep track of this.
