Q: Who do I contact if there is a bus related issue?
A: For transportation issues contact the transportation department at (516) 767-5680. For student issues on the bus, please contact your child’s grade level administrator.
Q: Who do I contact if my child will be late or absent?
A: All students are expected to be in school on time. Lateness to school is not an excuse for missing class. If a student is late, a “cut” may be assigned for any class(es) missed. Students who receive a cut will be assigned after school detention by their grade level administrator.
If a student needs to be late to school because of a medical appointment or a family emergency, or if a student will be absent for the day a parent must call the attendance office as early as possible on the day of the absence. Parents should call the following offices.

Q: Who do I contact if I need to pick my child up early from school?
A: If a student must leave school during the school day, they must sign out in their grade level administrator's office. Prior approval is required in the form of a phone call or email from the parent to the student's grade level office. If a student leaves the school grounds without such permission, they will be considered cutting and all classes missed will be recorded as cuts. Signing out during the school day should be for medical or emergency reasons only. All such sign-outs must be kept to a minimum. Parents must call in advance giving permission.

Q: How does my child notify me if they forget an item they need at home? How do I drop off an item that my child forgot?
A: If a student forgets an item at home, students can contact their parents directly and the item can be dropped off in their grade level administrator’s office. Students should be notified by their parents that the item will be dropped off. The student can then pick the item up in the grade level office.
