Attendance It is the Law! All children between the ages of 6-16 years of age must attend school (M.G.L. c. 76, sec. 1). Parents/guardians must notify the school of their child’s absence in a manner prescribed by school policy (M.G.L. c.76, sec, 1A). It is the parent’s/guardian’s duty to ensure that their child attends school. If a child misses 7 full days or 14 half days in any 6 month period, parents/guardians may be taken to court (M.G.L. c.76, sec. 19).
