Attendance Information

All children between the ages of 7 and 17 are required by Maine law to attend public school full-time.

After five absences and/or tardies in one school year, whether excused or unexcused, parents will be notified via letter and asked to call the principal. After ten absences and/or tardies, whether excused or unexcused, parents will be notified and asked to attend a conference that includes the student, the principal or designee, and the guidance counselor.

The Police Department may proceed with prosecution of the parent(s) if the child is habitually truant.
