Absence Request Guidance

Notices of absence must be submitted one student at a time.

Submit your request within two (2) school days of the absence. Absences not excused within two school days remain unexcused until proper documentation is provided.

Planned absences (family trips, preventative medical/dental appointments) require approval from your school administrator before the absence occurs, so please submit these requests in advance.

In the foreground, a dropdown menu for absence excuses is open, showing options like %22Bereavement%22 and %22Illness,%22 while the background displays a form to select students for an absence request.

Complete the Remaining Information

  • Excuse Reason - select the option that best fits:

    • Pre-arranged Absence - travel or other
