New York State requires a note written by the parent or guardian regarding the student's absence when they return.

Students, returning to school after a serious illness or "communicable disease" or who are absent four days or more; must be checked by the school nurse.  Examples of "communicable diseases" are:  chicken pox, shingles, ringworm, head/body lice, impetigo, conjunctivitis (pink eye), Fifth disease, scabies etc.

A note from the student's doctor is required from his/her family physician stating the communicable disease and clearing them to return to school.

Additional Information:
A student’s attendance will be recorded and counted from the day he has officially entered the class and it will be pro-rated accordingly. A tardiness of 10 minutes or longer will be counted as an absence from class.
