ATTENDANCE
Please read message from Dr. Parks:
To report a Student Absent:
Email: ParkerAttendance@chelmsford.k12.ma.us
Please Send Email: Prior to 9am on the day of the absence (same as current voicemail option) Please Include: Child’s name, Grade, and Reason for absence.
We encourage you to use the email option when reporting an absence, dismissal, etc. Parents are still free to use the phone system to report absences, but you are encouraged to use email for greater office efficiency.
If you prefer, you can certainly call the attendance line prior to 9:00am, at 978-251-5133, extension #4100.
**NEW THIS YEAR**
We will continue to send automated calls home when students are absent. You will receive the call whether you called/emailed or not. The reason is that we do not have the ability to review every email or phone call, and then manually remove each contact prior to the calls going out at 10:00AM.
In order for an absence to be marked as "Excused", families will need to provide medical documentation.
Thank you for your understanding.
