Please Contact Attendance Before Picking Up Your Student Early from School
Please give attendance at least 30 minutes notice before picking up your student early from school to avoid a delay. You can contact Attendance these ways:
- Email Attendance in the morning about the early dismissal: ecksteinms.attendance@seattleschools.org
- Call Attendance at least 30 minutes before the dismissal at: 206.252.5014
- Send a note to school with your student to give to Attendance.
Thank you for helping us ensure your students leave school at the time you need them.
Is Your Student Taking Extra Time off Around Winter Break?
If you plan to take your student out of school for an extended winter break, they need to complete a Preplanned Absence form and turn it into the Attendance Office prior to the absence for the absence to be excused.
Your student can find the form in the Attendance Office or download it below.
