Report an Absence

We expect parents and guardians to call the school if their student will be absent.  We request that any day your child will not be in school you call the appropriate House Office to report an absence.  Please use the following phone numbers when reporting an absence:

  • Grades 9 and 11 (House A):  The House A Call-Back number is 508-634-2392 

  • Grades 10 and 12 (House B):  The House B Call-Back number is 508-634-2393 

Please report the absence by 9am on the day of the absence.  Parents and guardians may leave a voice-message in English, Portuguese, or Spanish.

When leaving a message, please include the following:

  • The student’s full name

  • The student’s grade

  • The parent or guardian’s full name

  • The parent or guardian’s phone number

  • The date of the absence

  • The reason for the absence

If a student must miss school for multiple days due to an absence or other extenuating circumstances, the student or guardian should contact the student’s House office as soon as possible.  

If you do not call Milford High School to report your child’s absence, the Milford Blackboard Connect messaging system will try to reach you at every emergency number we have available. Please call the school to confirm your child’s whereabouts after receiving such a message.

Please note that calling the callback system DOES NOT excuse any absence. You are required to send your child back to school after each absence with a note stating the reason for this absence and with a doctor’s note if you would like the absence to be excused. (Refer to the Student-Parent Handbook for the Milford High School Attendance Policy.)   All absence notes will be kept on file for future reference.  Thank you for your attention in this very important safety matter.
