WELCOME BACK

Welcome to fourth grade. Thank you to all for sending in supplies and getting your child to school every day and on time. Please make sure to return all completed paperwork to school. If your child will be picked up by a different family member, an email or written note must be sent to school, to advise who is permitted to pick them up.  

Open house is scheduled for September 19th. There will be two sessions, 5pm and 6pm.  Please sign up for one of these sessions.

I look forward to meeting you all and to a productive school year!

 STUDENT ATTENDANCE POLICY

The State of New York requires every student to attend school every day unless he/she has a legal excuse.

Please see link for the Yonkers Public Schools Attendance Policy, in the Code of Conduct Document. 

CODE of CONDUCT

If your child must stay home for an illness, you must contact the main office by 9:00AM to alert the school of their absence. In the event of an absence, a written excuse for the day(s) of absence(s) is required. The note should include the student's full name and must be signed and dated by the parent/guardian. In the event that your child is absent for 3 days, a written doctor's note should be submitted.

Early dismissal is not advisable. Any parent who must pick up their child before the end of the school day because of an emergency must call and alert the main office before 11:00 am and send in a written note. 

Vacations outside of the Yonkers Public Schools Calendar are not approved and will be recorded as unexcused absences. 

Parents are asked to make appointments before or after school hours, to optimize instructional time. No student will be dismissed after 2:45pm as it interferes with dismissal.

Please send in absence notes to the main office or email to the Power School Clerk, Ms. Cardona at MCardona@yonkerspublicschools.org

School phone number: 914-376-8570

Thank you for your continued support.
