Absences
If your child is absent, please call the school before 8:30 a.m. Leave a message that includes your child's name, grade, homeroom number and reason for the absence and check the Attendance policy for further information.
Upon the child’s return to school, an absence note, which is required by state law, must be given to the homeroom teacher. The note should include the dates of and reason for the absence, signature of the parent, and the date note was written. If the child is absent for more than three consecutive days, a doctor’s note is required upon the child’s return.
Also, if you do need to pick your child up for an appointment, please also jot me a note. It is helpful to know this in advance, so that your child is ready at the stated time. Please let Mrs. Gordon know also. JGordon@stdots.com Thanks for your help with this request! -

Cares
Cares will begin on September 9, 2024
For the convenience of our families, St. Dorothy's offers an extended day program known as C.A.R.E.S. (Children Are Receiving Extended Services). Registration for CARES is now open. If you are interested in sending your child, please fill out the registration and the response to the handbook forms that can be found on our website https://saintdorothy.org/cares-forms. In order for your child to attend CARES, all of the necessary paperwork must be completed and returned prior to attending on September 9th. The forms can be sent to the school, attention to Mrs. Callahan. The forms can also be sent with your child on the first day of school. Please do not email the forms.
Morning CARES begins at 7am in the main office of the school. Please walk your child to the door and buzz the door and a staff member will let you in.
Afterschool CARES is held in the Annex from dismissal until 6:00.
Please have a photo ID with you when you pick up your child.
**Any questions you can contact Mrs. Callahan, the CARES director, at jcallahan@stdots.com -
