Reporting Absences

Students should be in school unless they are ill or there are unavoidable circumstances acceptable to the Head of the Language School. Vacation and days off for pleasure are not acceptable excuses and are discouraged.

For safety reasons, parents need to report their child's absence to school on a weekly basis. A written note of explanation from the parent is required for each student's absence prior to classes.  Please send E-Mail to languageschool@gisny.org.

When a child is expected to be absent due to illness or injury for an extended period of time, the Language School must be notified. In some instances, children may qualify for home bound instruction.
