Reporting Student Absences

Posted on

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)*(FULL DAY)
  • Email to attendance clerk  : ruiz-borjam@sfusd.edu or SilverN1@sfusd.edu

  • Written note (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 and Signature of a parent/caregiver and current date

  • Phone call  (415)749-3519
  • School attendance form (Available in the school office)(PARTIAL DAY)

(*After an absence you will not be able to report an absence through ParentVue and must email, call, or send a note with your student.)

We encourage parents/guardians/caregivers to review their student's attendance record regularly and communicate any discrepancies to the school. 

Students and Families can learn more about SFUSD Attendance policies in the Student and Family Handbook.
