Parent/guardian requests for specific pupil placement will only be considered if they are in writing to the building principal or designee. Such discretion may be exercised where
a) there are siblings scheduled for the same course with the same teacher during thesame period of instruction,
b) retention of a pupil results with subsequent assignment to the same teacher whereanother teacher is available, and/or
c) documented family or pupil prior experience with a teacher that would interferewith instruction.

ATTENDANCE (M)
In accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 18A:38-25, every parent, guardian, or other person having control and custody of a child between the ages of six and sixteen shall cause the child to regularly attend school. The Board of Education requires the students enrolled in the schools of this district attend school regularly in accordance with the laws of the State.
In accordance with the provisions of N.J.A.C. 6A:16-7.6, a student’s absence from school may be excused, unexcused that counts toward truancy or unexcused that does not count towards truancy.
Students that are absent from school for any reason are responsible for the completion of assignments missed because of their absence. A student who is absent from school for observing a religious holiday shall not be deprived of any award, eligibility, or opportunity to compete for any award or deprived of the right to take an alternate test or examination that was missed because of the absence provided there is a written excuse of such absence signed by the parent. Details can be found in building specific student handbooks.
Prolonged or repeated absences, excused or unexcused, from school or from class, deprive the student of the educational and classroom experience deemed essential to learning and may result in retention at grade level, loss of credit or removal from a course that would count toward the high school diploma in accordance with policies of this Board.
Students shall be subjected to the school district response for unexcused absences that count toward truancy during the school year as outlined in N.J.A.C. 6A:16-7.6 (a)4 and Regulation 5200. Unexcused absences from school or from classes within the school day may subject a student to consequences that may include the denial of a student’s participation in co-curricular activities and/or athletic competition. Repeated absences from school interfere with efforts of this Board and its staff in the maintenance of good order and the continuity of classroom instruction and such absences may result in the removal of the student from a class or course of study The Superintendent shall calculate and monitor the average daily attendance rate for the district and for each school in the district. Whenever the average daily attendance rate does not meet the New Jersey Department of Education requirements the Superintendent or designee shall develop a district improvement plan to improve student attendance pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:30-5.2.
