Attendance Reporting

Full-day absence, late arrival, or early checkout

Ways to Report Attendance

All three options are available 24 hours a day. This is a critical safety precaution for your child. You will be contacted by an automated system using the information listed on your child’s Emergency Care Form if you haven’t notified the school by 9:30 a.m. of an absence or late arrival.

When reporting a student's absence, please be specific about why your student will not attend school today.  

  • If reporting an ill student, include symptoms, especially if they have a fever, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, and/or cough. If your student has a diagnosis from a healthcare provider, please include that information.

An excused tardy or absence includes illness, death in the family, a doctor or dentist appointment, and observance of a religious holiday. We encourage family trips during scheduled school vacations and strongly discourage such trips during the school year. Virginia law requires us to withdraw any student from our enrollment who is absent from school for 15 consecutive days or more. Upon the student’s return, a parent must officially enroll him or her again. It is critical to your child’s success that they are in school daily and on time.
