Parents/guardians should notify the Main Office ahead of time for planned absences such as doctor appointments or travel out of town. When a student is absent without prior notice (such as being sick), the school should be notified via telephone at 802-766-2276, option #1, or by email at
ncujhs@ncsuvt.org as soon as possible.
If we have not received an excuse for your student's absence by 9:30 AM, you will receive an automated message indicating that your student is absent.
Tardy to School
Students are expected to be in TA at 8:20 AM. If students are not in their appropriate classroom by this time, they will be considered tardy for school. Students arriving to school after 8:20 AM need to check in at the Main Office. (Parents/guardians do not need to accompany the student into the building)
Truancy Protocol
Throughout the year, students may miss school for a variety of reasons. To ensure that students miss as few days as possible, the following protocol will be followed in the event that students miss school:
- When a student has been absent 3 days, the family will be notified.
- When a student has been absent 7 days, a letter will be sent to the family documenting the dates of the absences and the principal will convene a truancy prevention team meeting if warranted.
- When a student has been absent 15 days or more, the principal may refer the case to the state’s attorney office and notify the Department of Children and Families (DCF).
