• Attendance Policy for Student Illness: If a student is going to be absent from school due to illness, please call and leave a message for the school nurse at 716-267-3255 ext. 1- BEFORE 9:30 AM. This is the time that the automated attendance message will be sent out. 


    When a student returns after being absent, please send a note from a parent or guardian explaining the absence to the teacher, if a phone call has not already been made.

    Regular and prompt attendance is an important factor in a child’s school success. Parents can help their children succeed by ensuring their attendance except when illness or extreme family emergencies occur.  

    Early Dismissal Policy: If a student needs to leave school early, please send a note to the student’s teacher that morning. Please include the date.
