In order to be in your first period class on time, you should arrive at school no later than 8:00 a.m. Keep in mind that Campus Drive traffic can be heavy, so leave enough time to arrive at your class on time.
- Absence for the Day: If you are absent or late for the day, your parent(s) must call the Class of 2026 attendance office, 516-767-5834, on the morning of the occurrence to notify us of your absence. All medical absences must be accompanied by a note from the doctor’s office.
- Lateness to First Period: If you arrive after 8:15 a.m. you must sign in at my office prior to going to first period class. Repeated lateness to class will result in disciplinary action. If you arrive any time after first period ends, you must immediately report to my office to sign-in. Your parent(s) should have already called the attendance office, 516-767-5834, to indicate the reason for your lateness. Oversleeping is not an excuse and will be counted as a cut.
- Lateness during the day: If you arrive any time after Period 1, you must immediately report to my office to sign in. Parents should have already called to indicate the reason for the lateness. Remember, oversleeping is not an excused absence and will be marked as a cut.
- Signing Out/ Leaving Early: We understand that you might need to leave school early. Students that do not feel well during the day must sign out through the medical office. If you need to leave school early due to a scheduled appointment, your parent(s) must call in advance. You must always sign out either in my office or the medical office before leaving school. Please limit the number of appointments that you make during school. A parent must call in advance and a note from the doctor must be handed in when you return. If you do not provide a note from the doctor the absence will be recorded as unexcused.
- Cutting Class: Students are expected to attend every scheduled class. Cuts are not acceptable. Parents will be notified when students cut class. In addition, the student will be given after-school detention, which will take precedence over sports, clubs, or other commitments. Failure to attend detention will result in suspension. Repeated cutting can result in failure of that class for the quarter.
Parents and students should be aware that classes missed, including full-day excused absences or when signing in late or signing out early, may jeopardize academic performance in the classes that are missed and apply towards the 85% rule. (See Student Handbook.)
ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY: Your academic performance is directly connected with your ability to participate in our athletic and extracurricular activities. At the completion of each marking period (quarter) an individual who has failed two or more subjects will be ineligible to participate in co-curricular activities or athletics for the duration of the next marking period.

ID CARDS: You will be issued an ID card during the first day of school. Teachers, security guards, and school staff must be presented with this card upon request.

If you lose your ID card, the cost for a replacement is $5.00.
LOCKERS AND LOCKS: Most of you will use the same locker and combination as last year. Once a locker has been assigned to you, you may not change it without permission from my office. Remember, the person assigned to the locker is legally responsible for its contents. Do not share your combination with anyone. If you forget your locker combination, come and see Mrs. Raft or me. If you lose or damage the lock, it will cost $5.00 to replace. Please do not leave valuables in your locker. Should you have to bring something of value to school, bring it to the attendance office for safe-keeping. If you do not plan to use your locker this year, please stop by 211A and inform Mrs. Raft.
