Reporting an Absence, Early Dismissal, Late Arrival

In your email, please include the following:

  • Legal full name of student
  • Grade level
  • Reason for absence/email (illness, court, appointment, family matter, etc)
  • Date the student is out of school
  • If requesting an Early Dismissal, please note the time, reason, and whether your student is returning the same day. Students will receive a pass that they can show their teacher at the time of dismissal.
  • If noting a late arrival, please note the reason.
  • Phone number of the parent/guardian sending the note/email.

Please allow ample time to process early dismissal requests. Last-minute appointments will require a parent/guardian to come into the building with an ID to sign out their student.

A note/email must be received within five days of the absence. If a note is not received, the absence will be documented as unexcused.
