Reporting Absences

How to Report a Student Absence

Report an Absence Form

A student must attend school for at least half of the day to be counted present. This means that very late arrivals or early dismissals may result in your student being counted as absent even if they were present for part of the day. 

Reporting an absence to the front office may be done by using the absence button on the home page of this website or by sending a handwritten note with your child when they return to school. You should indicate the dates and reason for the absence and send supporting documents when needed, i.e. a note from the doctor if the absence is due to their medical appointment. We do request a doctor's note to excuse an illness if your child is absent for more than three consecutive days. 

Please contact school staff if you note any discrepancies in your student’s attendance record.
