Regular school attendance is paramount to the success of each student. We understand there are times due to illness and unforeseen events that may require you to be absent, arrive late, or request early dismissal. To ensure that your time here at The Hanover Center for Trades and Technology is fulfilled, we ask that you make every effort to be in attendance.
When there is cause for you to be absent, arrive late, or request early dismissal, we ask that you please follow the guidelines on this page.
Absence/Late Arrival to School
