Absence and Cancellation Policies

Absence Policy 

If your child is going to be absent, please either call the Absentee line at 781-769-5354
or email your child’s teacher as well as the front office. The email for the front office is
[email protected]. Please include your child’s name and their teacher’s name.
If you need to dismiss your child early it is helpful if you email or call the front office
earlier in the day and email their classroom teacher so your child is ready for you. Middle School students who are tardy or are being dismissed must be signed in and out in
the Main Office at 249 Nahatan Street.

Cancellation Policy 

SCS follows the same Inclement Weather Closings Policy as Norwood Public Schools. If Norwood Public Schools have no school, SCS will also have no school. Additionally, if Norwood Public Schools have a delayed opening or early dismissal, SCS will have a delayed opening or early dismissal. However, if Norwood Public Schools has school on an inclement weather day, SCS reserves the right to cancel school. Please know that
this decision would be done with the utmost appreciation for the impact of inclement weather school closing’ on working families. SCS will announce school closings on TV channels 4, 5, 7, Fox 25 and WBZ radio.

Parents will also be notified via email, through our social media pages and text message.

Again, if SCS dismisses early during the school day due to inclement weather or an emergency, parents will be notified via email, through our social media pages, text message and an announcement will be posted on the TV Channels listed above. If SCS dismisses early during the school day there will be NO Extended Day Program.

SCS Students will be released from the school office on Inclement Weather/School Emergency days at any time if parents/guardians come to the school and request that their student be dismissed. Please note that if there is no school because of Inclement Weather/School Emergency, there will be no extracurricular activities such as basketball, play practice, etc.There are no exceptions.

SCS Inclement Weather Closings are not Remote Learning Days.
