A-F DAYS

Our schedule is a 6-day rotating schedule.  The five academic classes (English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and World Language) and Life Arts classes meet every day.  The full-year electives (Band, Choir, Mandarin Chinese, and Strings) meet on alternating days opposite Physical Education.  Eighth-grade half-year electives are offered opposite Academic Success. Special Services are incorporated on a rotating basis.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

If your child will be absent for any reason, please be sure to contact the attendance line to report the absence. Each absence must be followed up by a note from a parent or guardian. We are now accepting e-mails for follow-up notes as well.

Please send email notes to: Kristin.mcnamara@amityregion5.org. That note or e-mail will suffice to excuse absences 1-9 and subsequent absences will require documentation from a doctor or medical provider to be excused.

As we continue our district focus on improving attendance we are implementing some new procedures that will help make it easier to communicate absences to the school in a timely manner. Beginning on September 9, 2024, any student that is marked absent, or unexcused from one, or more periods throughout the day, will receive an automated call from the SchoolMessenger around 3 PM.

EARLY DISMISSAL

Early dismissal from school requires a written request from a parent or guardian.  The note must be brought to the main office at the beginning of the school day.  Dismissal is generally for doctor’s appointments and family emergencies.  Parents or guardians must come into the office and sign out their child before the student may leave the building.
