Welcome to Saratoga Springs High School! Whether you are a new or returning student, we are excited to have you here with us. Saratoga Springs High School has a tradition of excellence in all areas. At our high school, we encourage students to take full advantage of the extensive learning opportunities that are offered. Through our courses and wide range of co-curricular activities, the administration, faculty, and staff fully expect that our students will develop their abilities, exhibit responsibility, and value learning.
Attendance
Regular and on-time attendance at school is a critical factor in supporting student achievement and success. Parents are required to provide an excuse within a two-week period of the absence (ten school days), indicating the reasons for any absence, tardiness, or early departure from school.
To report an absence or late arrival, please email highschool_attendance@saratogaschools.org or call the attendance office.
If an absence is not reported prior to 10:30 a.m., parents/guardians will receive an attendance message through ParentSquare notifying them of their student’s absence. Parents/guardians will be able to respond to the message through ParentSquare with a digital note to excuse their child’s absence.
