Attendance Forms

Student Absence Notification Form

Schools are required to keep records of every excused and unexcused absence for each student. Parents and guardians should call the school to report a student’s absence before 9:30 AM for each day a student is absent.

This form is completed by any staff member to record the verbal notification of an absent reason.

The District reserves the right to request additional information to excuse any absence. It’s critical that students check in with the Attendance Office when they arrive.

Request For Principal Approval Of An Excused Absence Form

More than one week - The parent or guardian must supply the school with a verbal or written excuse within one week of the student’s return. Any verbal or written excuse provided after this time will not be accepted unless approved, in writing, by the principal. If no valid excuse is received, the absence will be considered unexcused, which may result in a referral to juvenile court for educational neglect or truancy.

Parent Authorized Absence Limit of 9 has been reached - A maximum of nine (9) student absences from school may be considered excused with parental notification. After nine (9) absences, additional information and/or documentation in addition to the parent notification may be required in order for the absence to be excused. Documentation shall be reviewed by the principal. If approved by the Principal the absence will be coded as EXC (Excused).

Family Emergency – Initially coded as UNX (Unexcused); A Request for Principal Approval Form can be submitted for approval. If approved by Principal the absence coding can be changed to EXC (Excused).

Family Vacation - See Administrative Guidelines On Coding For Family Vacations (5200.01). A Request for Principal Approval Form must be submitted for approval.
