    Student Absences: All student absences should be reported in the morning by calling the Health/Attendance Office at 631-382-2825 or emailing GMS-Attendance@smithtown.k12.ny.us. In order for absences to be entered into the system as an excused absence, we require written correspondence from a parent/guardian or doctor.

    Early Dismissal: If you are picking your child up from school early the student must bring a note to the Attendance Office that morning. Any early dismissals should be picked up no later than 2:15pm, otherwise children can be picked up on the walker line at normal dismissal time where no note required.
