Reporting an absence

Reporting an absence

How to report

1. Open your child's profile. You land on School Day. You can also click Report absence on the child's card on Today.
2. Find Attendance and click Report Absence.
3. Fill in:
   • Date -- the first day of the absence. It defaults to today.
   • Multiple days -- check it for a longer absence, then set the End date.
   • Reason -- Illness, Personal reason, Medical appointment, or Vacation.
   • Message (optional) -- teachers and administrators get an email when you write one.
   • Report absence to the following clubs -- appears when a club meets on one of those days. Check it to tell the club too.
4. Click Report Absence.

The teacher sees the absence, the reason, and your message for each day.

Cancelling an absence

An absence on a future date shows a Future badge in Attendance. Click Cancel absence on that row to remove it.
