Report a Student Absence

Parent/Guardian Entered Absence

Parents or guardians can add absence requests for your student(s) to indicate a day or range of days your student will not be in school. For example, if your child will be out sick for the day, you can enter an absence request to indicate these details.

Parents can report an absence in two ways:

  • Option 1: Adding an absence for students via Family Access
  • Option 2: Emailing your student’s campus  
    • A written note or email is required when using Option 2 and must be sent within three days.
