Procedure for Verifying Absences
If a student is to be absent, parents are required to:
- Call the office of the Assistant Headmaster (x260) prior to 9:30 AM on the day of the
absence.
- Submit an absence note to the Assistant Headmaster’s office upon the student’s return to
school. Students are expected to submit absence notes prior to the homeroom period.
Early Dismissal Policy
Iona Prep requests that parents do not seek early dismissals for students unless there are no other
alternatives for the family and/or student. As a general rule, parents should make appointments for
their sons outside of school hours. An early dismissal from school requires:
- A written request signed by a parent stating the time and reason for the dismissal must
be submitted to the Assistant Headmaster. Requests submitted one day in advance of the
early dismissal are preferred. Acceptable reasons for an early dismissal are the same as
acceptable reasons for a school absence (sickness, death in the family, impossible
traveling conditions, required court appearance, and religious observation).
- A parent phone call verifying the early dismissal.
Please note: No student will be allowed to leave school early without meeting both guidelines.
