Babylon Jr-Sr. HS is legally responsible for keeping each student in school for the entire length of the school day. Only requests based on legal reasons for absence from school will be considered for releasing students prior to regular dismissal time. Students can only be released by the Attendance Office or the  School Nurse. Students will only be released to a parent/guardian unless otherwise indicated by the 
parent/guardian. The Attendance Office will verify student release to any other individuals.

Seniors Only: 
A note from a parent/guardian must be submitted to the Attendance Office prior to 
release from school. The note must include a phone number where a parent/guardian can be reached for 
verification. No student will be released from school without a verified note or parent phone call. Notes will not be accepted the next day. 

Attention Parents:

• When your child is absent from school, notification must be made to the Attendence Office by phone at 631-893-7921. 
• In addition, a legitimate written excuse must be provided to the student's homeroom teacher on the first day back to school after an absence.
