Parents

Absence Reporting

Belmont Hill will use SchoolPass to manage absences, late arrivals, early dismissals, and dismissal changes of students. Parents and guardians can make attendance and dismissal changes for their students with the click of a button without needing to call the school.  Please see below for instructions.

• Students are encouraged to email their teachers for assignments, but a parent or guardian must notify the school via SchoolPass, as outlined, to report absences, late arrivals, early dismissals, and dismissal changes of students. 
   
• Middle school parents, please note that 4:00-4:45pm is a required part of the school day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.  While we realize that it may be challenging to schedule medical and dental appointments, we ask that routine ones be planned in advance in conjunction with the school calendar to minimize conflict with school days. 
   
• In the event of a foreseeable need for a student to miss school, parents/guardians should communicate with the appropriate Division Head.  An excused absence may be granted for important family events or student opportunities. Any absences without approval from the School will be considered unexcused. In addition, absences for extended family vacations or without a valid reason will be considered unexcused. A student that misses 25% of school days during the year might not receive academic credit for that year.  For Upper/High School please contact Don Bradley bradleyd@belmonthill.org, for Lower/Middle School Tim Sullivan tsullivan@belmonthill.org.
   
• Boys cannot be released early for outside athletic commitments.
