My child was absent today....
What should I do?
For appointments with a Health Care Professional:
- Bring a note from the doctor’s office stating the date and time
- If student begins classes or returns to school on the same day as the appointment and provides a valid note upon return no absence will be recorded
Other absences require a parent note following these guidelines:
- Write on paper – emails will not be accepted
Include:
- Student first and last name
- Grade
- Id number (If known)
- Date
- Reason for absence
- Sign and date by a parent/guardian – notes signed by students under 18 will not be accepted
- Submit note within three school days of the student’s return or the absence will be considered unexcused and count toward truancy
