What Parents/Caregivers Should Do When a Student Will Be Absent
Reporting Student Absences
The parent/caregiver is responsible for ensuring their child gets to school daily.
If a student will remain at home, the parent/ guardian/caregiver must communicate with the school in one of the following ways before or on the day of the absence:
- Submit an absence notification via ParentVue (Instructions)
- Email to attendance clerk
- Written note
- Phone call
- School-specific attendance form (for partial day or past absences only, if available )
(After an absence you will not be able to report an absence through ParentVue and must email, use the school form (if available), call or send a note with your student.)
In all communications with the school regarding a student's absence please provide:
- Your name and identify yourself as the parent/guardian/caregiver of the student
- Student’s name
- Date(s) of the absence(s)
- Reason for the absence
- Signature of a parent/caregiver and current date (if a written note)
We encourage parents/guardians/caregivers to review their student's attendance record regularly and communicate any discrepancies to the school.
