information have been missed and to make arrangements to make up lost work. Work is to be
made up within a timeframe worked out between the teacher and the student. Generally, a student
is given a day for each day absent to make up the work

TARDINESS
Tardy to school is defined as a student that enters the school building after the start of the school
day or homeroom period. Ensuring that a student arrives to school on time is a parental
responsibility. If a student arrives late to school, they need to report to the school office/house
office to sign in. The student needs to bring a signed note from a parent(s)/guardian(s) to explain
their tardiness.
TRUANCY
“Truant” shall mean a student age five to eighteen, inclusive, who has four unexcused absences in
any one month, or ten unexcused absences in one school year. Students who stay out of school
for an entire school day without parental or school consent are considered truant. Students will
receive a zero (0) for all schoolwork on the day of truancy and may be cause for disciplinary action,
suspension, parent/guardian conferences, counseling and the use of community services to address
student needs.
EARLY DISMISSAL
Any dismissial from school can only be authorized by the school office or building
administrator(s). Parent(s)/guardian(s) that wish their child to be dismissed early should send the
student to school with a signed note stating the time of dismissal. This note should be presented
to the school admiinistration before homeroom period or in the morning on the day of the
dismissal. Parent(s)/guardian(s) are to sign out their child in the main office. For the protection
and safety of the student, dismissals are routinely made only to the parent(s)/guardian(s) of that
student.
If there are special circumstances that necessitate someone other than the
parent(s)/guardian(s) to pick up the student, their name should be stated in the dismissal note.
NO SCHOOL/DELAYED OPENINGS
In case school is canceled because of snow or any other reason, an announcement will be made
over local radio/TV stations, social media, you can call the snow line at 253-5170 or sign up for
a School Messenger robo call.
Should a 2 hour delay occur, JFK will open at 9:48 A.M. and the busses will run 2 hours later than
usual. Dismissal will be at 2:36 P.M.
DISCIPLINE
The Enfield Public Schools’ discipline policy (5131) governs student behavior in all Enfield
Schools and will be sent home during the first week of school.
