All excused absences must be called in to the Attendance Office or requested via the Parent Portal on Infinite Campus within 24 hours. We do not accept written notes.
How do I excuse my student for a prearranged absence?
Your student may pick up a pre-arranged absence form to be signed by each teacher and the parents, then returned to the Attendance Office.
How do I excuse my student from classes early to go to an appointment?
It is the student's responsibility to pick up an Early Release pass from the Attendance Office before their class, as passes are not delivered to the classroom except in emergencies. Passes can be written before we receive/process your excusal. Parents/Guardians excuse an early release like any other absence: in advance or within 24 hours. Unexcused early releases are recorded as absences the following school day. Please have your student sign in at the Attendance Office upon returning from an appointment.
I received a phone call last night saying my student was absent, but my student was in all classes. What do I do now? To request a change to the attendance record, your student can pick up a “Change Slip” from the Attendance Office. They will then take the “change slip” to their teacher to fix the marked attendance.
What if my student needs to be excused for a final exam?
"Early Exam Forms" will be available in the Attendance Office approximately three weeks before Finals Week each semester. Students should fill these out and work with their teacher to arrange an alternate time to take the final.
