Should your child be absent from school, please contact the attendance office by phone (856-869-7750 x7188) or email (hths-attendance@htsd.us) as soon as possible.  The attendance office requires written documentation for all student absences.  Documentation can be provided via email or a paper note, which can be brought in upon the students' return to school.

Absences from school fall into one of three categories:

• Excused - Documentation is provided from a doctor or medical professional, court, DMV, or regarding a college visit or death in the family.  Administration reserves the right to excuse (or not excuse) all absences.
• Unexcused - Documentation provided by a parent or no documentation provided.  Documentation (via paper note or email) is expected to accompany each student absence.  Unexcused absences with no documentation provided will default to a truancy after two days and the student will be subject to disciplinary consequences.
