Submitting your student's absence in ParentVue
We appreciate you submitting your student's absence in ParentVue when needed. Just a reminder that if your student is only absent for the one day, please do not enter an 'end date'. Only enter an end date if the absence is more than one day long.
Also, if your student will be late to school, please enter this as 'other' with the reason. Please do not enter an early pick up notification, as an entry marks them out for the day.
Thank you
