Attendance and Residency

Any child who is a resident of Manchester is entitled to a free public school program in town, and regular and punctual school attendance is essential if students can properly benefit from teaching and learning, and Connecticut state law places the responsibility for assuring that students attend school with the parent or other persons having legal control of the student.
