Parent Teacher Meet & Greet/ Student Absent Email Address
Hello Pelham Gardens Middle School Parents,
There are two important pieces of information I need to share with you.
First, tomorrow, September 18th, you will receive a call from one of your child's advisors to introduce themselves. The call will take place between 4:00pm and 7:00pm. So, please stay alert for that phone call. Your child's advisor may be able to answer some general academic or classroom related questions you may have.
Second, in the interest of making sure your child's absence is reported correctly, our school has created a student absence reporting email address.
Missing out on school means missing out on learning. Missing even one day of school can make children fall behind in class. Just 2 absences per month can add up to missing 1 full month of school. This counts for all absences, even excused absences. Good attendance starts early.
Tips:
Talk to your child about why attendance is important.
Use a calendar to keep track of your child's absences from school.
Schedule regular check-ups at the doctor on school holidays.
Set bedtime and morning routines.
Talk to school staff if getting to school on time is hard.
Pelham Gardens Middle School is committed to working together with you. To make our reporting process more efficient, one option is to report absences via email at: 11X566_absentstudent@groups.schools.nyc
Third, if you have any questions about tomorrow's phone call or reporting an absence of your child, please feel free to call me at (718) 794-9750 extension 4263, email me at mleader3@schools.nyc.gov, or message me on Class Dojo.
Thank you,
on behalf of Pelham Gardens Middle School
