School attendance is an important factor in a student's academic success. School attendance also helps students with socialization, becoming engaged with their peer groups, and enhances their sense of belonging to our school community and prepares them for a bright future. We encourage parents to schedule vacations, trips, outings, etc during non-school days to minimize their student's absences. School Board Policy 9-13 outlines legitimate excuses for absence or tardiness.

If you were unable to notify the school of your student's absence early using your ParentVUE account, please send a notification to excuse your student's absence. When you send the absence excuse notification, please make sure you identify the dates of the absence.
