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: sch505@sfusd.edu and please put Attendance in the subject line.
• Written note
• Phone call  415-241-6276

(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)

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)

Families DO NOT need to submit doctor’s notes for illness to receive an excused absence. 

The student will receive an unexcused absence if the parent/caregiver does not submit communication for a valid excused absence.  

A parent/guardian/caregiver of the student can submit a request for excused absence anytime during the school year. 

 SFUSD Board Policy 5113

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

Students and Families can find out more about SFUSD Attendance policies in the Handbook.
