MMS Absence and Phone Call Policies
From The Office Manager
Welcome everyone.
In order for the main office to run smoothly
there are just a few requests:
-
Please
remember that all student absences are to be called in to the absence line
before 8:00 a.m. The absence line is reached by dialing 973-378-7660 and selecting Option 1. Please leave your child's
name, team and homeroom. Please do not call the
main office.
-
Also, please do not call the
office to try to leave a message for your child. We cannot interrupt classroom
instruction unless it is an emergency. In case of an emergency, the information
will be relayed to the office staff. The office staff will then have your child
return the call.
-
Please make sure your
after-school arrangements are made before your child leaves for school, and
make sure your child has ample chance to call you if necessary. Calls can be
made from the school's pay phone or the pay phone in front of the Maplewood
Memorial Library.
With close to 800 students I hope you
understand how important these requests are.
If you do need to call the school, please do
so after 8:35 a.m. after morning announcements are taking place in the office.
Welcome to our new sixth grade parents and students and Welcome Back to our 7th and 8th grade
parents and students.
Thank you for all your considerations.
Carol Yanow
Office Manager
