"For just as the body is one and has many members,
and all the members of the body,
though many, are one body,
so it is with Christ. "
1 Corinthians 12:12
Notifying the School of Absences
It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to contact the school office with the reason for the absence as soon as possible on any day a student is absent. Messages can be left on office voicemail at any time. A staff person in the CCS office will call for information regarding an absent student for whom no information has been received.
If a parent/guardian does not contact the school to provide information about the absence, the absence will be considered unexcused. If parents/guardians would like to request an excused absence, they need to notify the school within three days. While notification does not automatically excuse the absence, no absence will be excused without notification. If no notification occurs within 5 school days upon return to school, the absence will be identified as unexcused and will not be changed unless granted by the Head of School.
To report an absence please call the school's phone number: 610-286-0353, and then Option 3.
Tardies and Early Departures
A student who arrives late to school must report to the school office to sign in on the form provided.
The student is given a pass from the office to class. A student is not permitted into class without a pass.
A student who leaves school early must report to the school office to sign out on the form provided.
Whenever possible, a note granting permission for early departure, signed by a parent/guardian, must be given to the student’s homeroom teacher at the beginning of the day.
No student is permitted to leave school early without parent/guardian knowledge.
Examples of an excused tardy or early departure include a doctor’s appointment, illness, funeral/memorial service, or family emergency. The school reserves the right to determine which tardies and early departures are excused and which are unexcused.
A tardy that results from a delayed bus is considered excused.
