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 is an important part of student achievement and success. Students are expected to be in their classrooms and ready to learn by 7:49 a.m. Students who are not in their classrooms by 7:49 a.m. will be marked absent by their teacher.
Parents/guardians are required to provide an excuse within two weeks (10 school days) of an absence, tardy or early departure, including the reason for the absence or late arrival through ParentSquare. View instructions for reporting an absence, tardy, or early dismissal in ParentSquare.
If your student is absent: Please report a full day absence through ParentSquare or reply to Parent Square that you will receive around 10:45 a.m.
If you know your student is going to be tardy: Please report a Partial Day absence through ParentSquare and indicate the student’s expected arrival time.
If your child needs to leave campus during the day: Please report a Partial Day absence through ParentSquare and indicate the student’s expected departure time. Your student will pick up a yellow pass from the Attendance Office and can meet you at the pickup loop.
The High School Attendance Office also accepts handwritten notes. The office will not excuse any tardy, dismissal, or absence via email, phone call, or voicemail.
If you need to make a change to an absence, tardy, or early dismissal submitted through ParentSquare, please contact the attendance office by phone.
