You will then be able to see all absences that were submitted. 

Doctor's notes now can be uploaded into the absence request as an attachment

While an absence, for example, was recognized locally and documented with a parent note, it isn't "Excused" by the state's standards and is subject to (FEA) Compulsory Attendance and (FEC) Attendance for Credit. For this reason, it's calculated in the Days Other total.

For verification of absences or request received please refer to family access. 

Please visit the attendance webpage and our parent newsletter to keep up to date!
