![Need to pick up your child early? Here's how...]([{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_1/v1660596319/hamden/vskefncmwqvrrtvj4bup/Pickingupyourchildfromschoolearly.png","width":256},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto/v1660596319/hamden/vskefncmwqvrrtvj4bup/Pickingupyourchildfromschoolearly.png","width":400}])
If you plan to pick your child up from school early, please send a note or email to your child’s teacher by the morning. We also ask that any early dismissals are done prior to 2:30 PM, avoiding the last half hour of the school day.
![Billing Policies on Broken or Lost Chromebooks]([{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_1/v1641235878/hamden/vyqvgcqyjhtq6ph5j7uh/BrokenChromebook.png","width":256},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto/v1641235878/hamden/vyqvgcqyjhtq6ph5j7uh/BrokenChromebook.png","width":376}])
Parents should be aware of billing procedures for broken or lost Chromebooks that were loaned by the district to their children. Students were given detailed instructions about their responsibility to the Chromebooks at the beginning of the school year, as they went over the Acceptable Use Policy with their Library/Media teacher.
For the policy regarding this, see the Policy section on the district website:

![Too Many Absences?]([{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_1/v1576326003/hamden/oepb2xdedzovflamv7dd/AbsenceAttendanceScreenshot8.png","width":256},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_2/v1576326003/hamden/oepb2xdedzovflamv7dd/AbsenceAttendanceScreenshot8.png","width":512},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto/v1576326003/hamden/oepb2xdedzovflamv7dd/AbsenceAttendanceScreenshot8.png","width":760}])
One of the district's critical priorities is to provide all families with attendance information and resources. Remember, every school day matters. Attending school every day helps students learn, stay on track, and graduate on time.
Throughout the year, your family may receive a letter that contains the total number of excused, unexcused, and partial day absences. Parents/guardians who receive the reports may call the Parent Support Team at 860-300-3900 with any questions.
