ATTENDANCE – (5200)

The educational program offered by this District is predicated upon the
presence of the student and requires continuity of instruction and
classroom participation. Attendance shall be required of all students
enrolled in the schools during the days and hours that the school is in
session.

A student in grades 9 through 12 may be considered a full-time
equivalent student provided the student is enrolled in at least five (5)
credits of instruction, as defined by State law, per school year.

In accordance with statute, the Superintendent shall require, from the
parent of each student of compulsory school age or from an emancipated
student who has been absent from school or from class for any reason, a
statement of the cause for such absence. The Board of Education
reserves the right to verify such statements and to investigate the cause
of each single absence or prolonged absence. Because of this, Hudson
City Schools will only accept ten (10) parent excusal notes per year for a
student. After the ten parent excusals have been exhausted, students
need to bring in a doctor’s note for additional absences. If there is no
doctor documentation, these absences will remain unexcused and count
toward truancy.
