Reporting Attendance Reporting Attendance

Please call the school at 518-654-2960 if your child is going to be absent.


Please notify the attendance clerk of the reason and expected length of absence. Our voicemail will record messages before or after school hours. A written note is required immediately upon the student's return explaining the reason for the absence. When a child is absent for a long period of time (2 weeks or longer) due to illness, he/she may qualify for tutoring. A doctor's note stating the diagnosed illness and the length of confinement at home must be submitted to the principal, along with a written parental request for tutoring.

Student Drop Off & Pick Up Routines Student Drop Off & Pick Up Routines

All students (UPK-4th grade) will be allowed to enter the building starting at 8:00am. Walkers should plan to arrive at school no earlier than 7:55am for the 8:00am entry. Tardy is 8:15.


Students being dropped off by vehicle should plan to start lining up in their cars at 7:55am so we are able to keep the line of cars on school property. Students should remain in their cars and not exit cars until told to do so by a staff member. This process will begin at 8:00am.


At the end of the day, parents picking up students by vehicle should park in the lot closest to the track and wait for you child(ren) on the sidewalk. Students will not be allowed to walk into the parking lot unattended. Kindergarten through fourth grade students being picked up by vehicle will be dismissed at 2:20pm.


UPK students will be dismissed at 2:00pm.


Walker will exit the building at 2:25pm.

These professionals will share their time between the Elementary School and the Oak Street Campus.


In order for students to take advantage of this great opportunity, parents/guardians must sign and return the consent form to their building principal. If you would like to learn more about this service, please follow this link to a recording of our presentation from December 6th, 2022. The Google Slide presentation is also available here.
