Report an Absence

We ask families to report their student’s absence at least 30 minutes prior to the designated stop time to allow time to notify your student’s bus driver.

New Process for Reporting an Absence: 4 Simple Steps

We have a new, easy way for families to let our school know when their student is absent! While we know regular attendance is one of the most powerful ways to prepare your student for success, we also know that sometimes students must miss school for a variety of reasons. Next time that happens for your family, let us know through ParentVUE:

• Login to ParentVUE

• Click the “Report Absence” button next to the name of your absent student

• Fill in the fields with the date(s) of the absence and provide an explanation

• Click to submit, automatically notifying the school of the absence

Learn more or view step-by-step images and instructions. You can use this method to report an absence of up to 4 days. As a reminder, an absence of 5 days or longer requires families to submit a Notice of Pre-Arranged Extended Absence Form.
