RE:
Attendance Scan Sheets
Fax: (718) 447-5398 Caroline Conevery, Assistant Principal Michele Ramos, Assistant Principal
ATTENDANCE SCAN SHEETS ARE TOP PRIORITY Your attendance scan sheet is to be received by 10:00 a.m. It is a school policy that attendance scan sheets are to be sent to the main office no later than 10:00 a.m. If a child enters your classroom after the scan sheet is sent to the main office, then the “Change of Attendance” form must be completed. Please be advised that the attendance sheet is a legal document. Note: Failure to address all attendance concerns may lead to disciplinary action. Chancellor’s Regulation A-210 4.1
Teachers are responsible for ensuring that accurate records of attendance are kept for each student on register. These records include the attendance scan sheets and the change of attendance forms which are signed by the teacher or the person responsible for taking attendance for that class. Principals must make these records available to those authorized to review, inspect or audit them. The school must have a backup system for exceptional reporting, such as when the ATS System is down or the official classroom teacher is absent.
