Attendance Reporting

If your child will be absent or is arriving late, please alert the school first thing in the morning, by completing THIS SHORT GOOGLE FORM

There is no need to call or email teachers if you complete this form - all staff will have access to it. When we process homeroom attendance at 11am, you will still receive a DOE notification that your child is not in the building, even if you complete our form. 

RELATED ATTENDANCE REMINDERS:

  • Students must be in homeroom at 9am to be marked present/on time.
  • You may view your child's attendance in NYCSA (schoolsaccount.nyc - updated weekly)
  • Our athletes are aware that repeated unexcused late arrivals will impact their ability to practice, start or or play in games.
  • Doctor notes or other absence letters can be attached to the Google form or submitted to Chris in the main office (attendance@esmsnyc.net).
  • Students are not allowed to self-dismiss; if they need to leave before the end of the school day, you or an adult you designate on their emergency form must come to the lobby and sign them out. Change your authorized pickup adults online any time at Operoo.com. (Click the eforms button to see and/or edit any of your form responses.) 
  • Manhattan Youth handles all attendance matters for afterschool: Nick Lacativa nlacativa@manhattanyouth.org / (917) 565-7472
