Student Attendance Matters: Reporting Procedures and Policy Details

Posted Date: 10/07/25 (3:05 PM)

Dear HKMS Families,

As we progress through October, attendance issues often start to arise.  This week we will be sending out our first round of messages identifying students who may be "at-risk" for problematic absenteeism (currently 3 or more absences).  Below, I am resharing the summer message Mrs. Fox-Santora and I sent to you about the importance of regular attendance and the procedures we follow to ensure accurate attendance records.  

Should you have any questions about attendance or any other topic, please feel free to reach out to me.

Sincerely,
Steve Clapp, Ed.D.
Principal of HKMS
