• Attendance and Early Dismissal Policy: If a student is going to be absent from school due to illness, please call and leave a message for the school nurse – 716-665-6627 ext. 2 at Fenner School - BEFORE 9 AM. This is the time that the automated attendance messages will be sent out. 
     
    When a student returns after being absent, THEY MUST PRESENT A NOTE FROM A PARENT OR GUARDIAN EXPLAINING THE ABSENCE TO THE TEACHER IF A TELEPHONE CALL HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN MADE. 
     
    Regular and prompt attendance is an important factor in a child’s school success. Parents can help their children succeed by ensuring their attendance except when illness or extreme family emergencies occur.
