Report an Excused Absence

how to report an excused absence

Home-to-school communication that qualifies for excused absence status must meet one of the Valid Causes for Absence.

To report absences, please call the attendance line at (708) 757-2110 (Option 1).

Please call the school before 8:30 a.m. to report your child’s absence.

Please leave the following information:

  • Students’ full name with spelling of the last name;
  • Reason for absence/tardy/early release;
  • Your name and relationship to the student;
  • Please call the main number at least 45 minutes before early dismissal.

For your student to be EXCUSED, you must sign them in and out in the main office; otherwise, their absence will be marked as unexcused.

Official attendance will be reported every morning at 9:00 a.m.

If your child joins a teacher’s class late, they will be marked tardy in PowerSchool, and you will be notified via the Principal’s ClassDojo.
