Attendance – The First Key to Success in Middle School

If your child will be absent from class Hybrid or Remote, please call us at 251-5122 and select option 1 or email us at mccarthy_attendance@chelmsford.k12.ma.us to report your child absent. 

If your student must be tardy or dismissed from inperson classes, please provide a note to the main office to explain tardy or dismissal.  If your student will arrive late or be dismissed from a remote learning class parents need to notify the main office via email mccarthy_attendance@chelmsford.k12.ma.us or call the attendance line 251-5122 and select option 1

School starts at 8:19 am for all students.  Remote students not logged in or Hybrid students not in class by 8:19 will be marked absent, until notification of a change has been received.

Please contact your child’s guidance counselor if you have any overarching concerns whether it is attendance related or not.  Specific class/assignment related questions or concerns should be directed to the particular teacher involved.  Our counselor assignments are as follows:

  • Mrs. Charig: Grade 6 & Teams 5-2 & 5-3
  • Mrs. Seero: Grade 7 & Team 5-4
  • Mrs. Vining: Grade 8 & Team 5-1
