Student Absences  

Due to illness...

If your Kinder is absent due to illness, please send a note in their folder. The NPE handbook states that a valid note must be returned to school within 3 days of the student's return. If we do not receive a note by that deadline, the absence will remain unexcused.

On the note for the office, please include:
1. The student's full name
2. The date(s) of his/her absence
3. Reason for absence 
4. Signature of parent/guardian 

If your student is absent for 3 or more consecutive days, a doctor's note is required. 

You can also call NPE's Absence Line at (610)-874-5236. You can call the night before the absence after 4:00 pm -OR- between 8:00 am and 9:00 am on the day your student is out. 

Due to a family trip...

If you plan to take a family trip, a Family Trip Request form should be sent into school at least 2 weeks prior to the trip. The form can be found on the NPE website under the "Resources" tab in the e-folder, or by request at the front office.
