Absence Management

If your child will be absent, please use the new Follett Aspen Go app to report the absence.

Instructions on how to download and use the Follett Aspen Go app to report your childs absence can be found here.

After classroom attendance has been taken, a check will be made against the absence reported via the app. In any case of absence where there has been no notification by the parent/guardian, contact will be made with the home to verify the absence. 

Per Connecticut State Law regarding school attendance, students are allowed up to 9 absences from school without documentation for illness or otherwise. After this absence limit has been reached, documentation will be required for all absences or they will be noted as “Unexcused”. Documentation may include a note from a doctor or pediatrician to excuse a day due to illness. Our school nurse is also a resource if you need assistance determining if your child should or should not attend school due to feeling unwell. The school will provide regular reports to you regarding any attendance concerns, and schedule meetings to review your child’s school attendance and truancy if necessary.

If you are experiencing any difficulty getting your child to school, or getting your child to school on time, we are here to help! Please contact with the Principal, Natasha Torre or one of our School Psychologists, Caitlyn Damon or Diana Whamond.
