NYCPS Attendance Policy
School Year 2026–2027 · P.S. 92Q, The Harry T. Stewart, Sr. School
Attendance is a required, legal record
By law, schools must take attendance to show whether a student is in school or not by marking them as P for present or A for absent. A child who does not attend school must be marked absent, even if the absence is excused.
Attendance records in the electronic system cannot be changed after the middle of July. However, they may be amended by submitting a letter to the student's file. Ask the school for attendance records or track your child’s attendance in your NYC Schools Account (NYCSA)
Excused absences are still absences
Schools can excuse absences when a student is absent for religious, medical or emergency reasons, but excused absences are a legal part of the student's record. Excused absences may not count against a student for school awards or participation in school activities.
- Schools publish their Every Student Every Day Attendance policy and help students who do miss school to stay on track with take-home and make-up work.
Schools Partner with Families After Every Absence
Regular communication between schools and families helps ensure students stay connected to learning and receive support when they need it.
Schools will notify families when a student is absent or arrives late to school. Families are encouraged to let the school know the reason for the absence so staff can provide appropriate support and maintain accurate attendance records.
