Verifying Absences

Verifying Absences

To report an absence, a parent must send a note to the school, email, or call to verify the absence. 
  • Absences should be verified within 24 hours. 
  • Parents/Guardians have three (3) school days to verify the reason for absences to make it excused, after which it will be marked as “unexcused” (unless a doctor’s note can be produced).
  • Doctor notes are required to excuse absences for doctor appointments. 
  • Medical documentation must be printed on the official, preprinted letterhead of an established medical practice or clinic and must include the provider's physical office address and/or state licensing number.
