Parent Support . . . New York State requires students between the ages of six and 16 to attend school. Parents are asked to cooperate by ensuring their children attend school. Regular attendance is vitally important to success in school and the development of character, proper attitudes, and respect for rules, laws and regulations. In addition, the state's financial assistance to the district is based primarily on pupil attendance.
Absences cost the taxpayers money and deny students and their schools maximum financial support.
Parent Participation . . . Parents are urged to participate in school activities by encouraging their children, visiting the classroom and keeping in touch with their children's teachers. Volunteers are always welcomed to help with special school events. Parents are invited to visit any of the schools in the Saratoga Springs City School District. Please stop at the school office so that someone may take you on a tour of the building or direct you to the person you wish to visit.
