Absentee Procedures

Parents or guardians should call Mrs. Ortiz, the Attendance Officer, before 9 am each day of a student’s absence (718-584-8328). A student returning after an absence must present to Mrs. Ortiz an Absentee Card signed by either a parent or guardian. This is to be done between 8 and 8:25 am on the morning of the first day the student is back in school. This card is to state explicitly the day(s) and date(s) of and reason for the absence.

No student is to go to AM attendance or to class after an absence before reporting to the Attendance Officer.

MetroCards

If a student lives within the five boroughs of the City of New York, he is automatically eligible to receive a MetroCard, a card for free travel on bus or subway. Students who need to make more than one transfer in each direction should see Mrs. Porco in Administration ASAP during orientation. MetroCards are distributed at the beginning of each school year at orientation by the student's mentor.

Any upperclassman that has previously taken Metro North will automatically receive his September commutation ticket in the mail by mid to late August. Incoming freshmen who signed up to take Metro-North at registration have been submitted for entry into the Metro-North Mail & Ride System. They will receive two emails directly from Metro North by mid-August with information on how to log in and begin receiving tickets.
