Report Student Absences in PowerSchool
Notifying your child’s school of an absence just got easier! Simply login to your PowerSchool Parent Portal via a web browser (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Edge) and follow these instructions.
All families with students in preschool – 12th grade are welcome to use the PowerSchool Attendance Monitor to report an absence. School attendance phone lines will still be available; however, our preferred method for receiving absences is via PowerSchool as it helps create greater efficiencies for our school office teams. (Note: At this time, the PowerSchool app does not support attendance so you will need to login to your account via a web browser.)
Please review these options for translated instructions: Bosnian, Spanish, Swahili

If your student is missing school for a medical appointment or illness, please provide a note from the provider to excuse the absence.
