WAS YOUR STUDENT ABSENT?
Per our student/parent handbook: A written note, medical excuse or electronic excuse form must be submitted for each absence.
Save time and gas by submitting your excuses online using this link - Online Excuse Form. You can upload medical excuses on this form, so no need to make a special trip to school. A link to this form is also at the bottom of each school letter and at the top of our website homepage.
If you prefer, medical excuses may also be faxed to the school at 803-476-3820.
