To Contact the Attendance Office between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

please call 215-420-5071

 

 

 

Please send an excuse card with your student the day before or the morning of the early dismissal.  Please have your student bring it to the Attendance Office upon their arrival to school.  Your student will be given an early dismissal pass.  This procedure is helpful because in most cases your student will be waiting in the lobby for his/her parent, guardian or designated adult to sign them out. 

 

The sooner the Attendance Office is aware of an early dismissal the more accommodating we can be in having your child ready upon your arrival.

 

Excuse cards are to be given to the homeroom teacher or the Attendance Office upon the student's return to school.  If an excuse card is not received within 3 days of the student's return, it will be considered an unexcused absence.

 

If a child is absent 3 or more consecutive days a doctor's note is needed upon their return.

 

Students are to be in homeroom by 8 a.m.  Anytime after 8 a.m. is considered a late arrival.  Upon arriving to school the student is to report to the Attendance Office with an excuse card or note explaining their lateness.  The student will then be issued a pass to go to their homeroom or their class.
