    All members of the Tappan Middle School community are responsible for making attendance procedures work effectively. The Attendance Policy supports teaching and learning through continuity in the classroom.

    The procedure for excusing a student’s absence requires that parents/guardians to notify the Attendance Office within 24 hours of the day that the student is absent. A phone call or email from a parent/guardian is required to excuse a student’s absence. A formal note from a Physician may be accepted. HAND-WRITTEN NOTES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. 

    The Student's Duty is to:

    • Be in the classroom when the second bell rings.
    • Make arrangements with their teacher to make up work upon returning from an excused absence.
    • Know their attendance record.
    • Attend all classes unless excused by a parent or guardian, are excused by a school-sponsored activity (e.g., AWAY athletic game)
    • Inform their teacher of the excused absence ahead of time, and complete assignments beforehand, if possible.
    • Complete and submit a Pre-Planned Absence Form to their grade level principal for extended absences, for approval.
