Attendance

At NBFA we take absences seriously, maintaining an above average daily attendance rate of approximately 95%. One of the best ways to ensure students love coming to school is to create active, fun, theme-based lessons driven by their interests and enhanced with field trips. We work strategically with families to make sure students come to and stay in school every day.
Guardians, if your child will be absent then you are required to communicate the reason for their absence. Guardians should report their child's absence by 8:00am by completing our absence notification form at the link here or below:

If you are not able to use the link then you can also call the school by 8:00am to report your child's absence at: 203-384-2897. Lastly, you may email [email protected] and your child's teacher if your child will be absent for any reason.
