Student Absence
-
To report a student's absence, the parent/guardian of an absent student is asked to call the school at
(212) 688-1545 ext. 211 or 226 by 9:00 a.m. to report the reason for the absence. If a phone call is not received, the school will call the student’s home to verify the absence. On returning to school after being absent, the student must present a written explanation to her homeroom teacher. The student’s name, grade, dates of absence and reasons for absence with the parent’s/legal guardian’s signature and phone number must be included in the note. Parents may use the absence note found here. After an absence of three consecutive days, a doctor’s note is required.
*A senior may have an excused absence for a college visit if she brings a note from her parent/guardian giving permission to miss school and indicating the name of the college and the date and time of the appointment. This note must be signed by the parent/guardian, a Cathedral High School guidance counselor, and brought to the Assistant Principal for Student Life on the day preceding the interview.
