Every Student, Every Day

To notify MHA about an excused lateness or absence for your child:

Late arrival? Absence? Early dismissal?

Text (929) 998-6981

• Simplify life- grab your phone and save MHA's NEW TEXT ONLY number to text in your child's attendance related updates NOW!

• Updates MUST come from parent number on file with us. Texts from other numbers will not be considered proper documentation.

• You may continue to Call (212)-696-0195 to speak to someone. All staff e-mails are also on our website under “About”—-Staff Contacts….or message us directly via JumpRope!

• ANY ABSENCE, WHETHER EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED, STILL COUNTS AS AN ABSENCE. However, when excused with a parent note, we make note of this internally and take this into consideration when planning interventions and supports.

All students at MHA are expected to maintain at least a 95% daily attendance percentage. Monthly attendance awards are given out to incentivize students who meet these goals. Outreach and interventions are completed for students not yet meeting our goal.
