Kids are naturally curious about the world around them. They often ask questions – both in school and at home - that are sometimes tough to answer. Some of the hardest questions can easily make the most informed teacher or parent feel less than worthy. Some of these tough questions are about family beliefs and can’t be answered by “googling it”.
I hope that you find this article informative.

| A note about attendance: The New Jersey State Law is very specific about school attendance.

There is no room in the law or regulations to excuse any children who have prior plans.
We must mark all children absent who are not in attendance.
