Hello parents, we have an important update regarding student absences!
Introducing our new "School Absence Note" feature on the school app! This new feature is designed to simplify the process of submitting absence excuses. You can now digitally submit absence excuses and doctor's notes directly through the app or on our school webpage.
If you need to check a student out, please contact Mrs. Lay or send a note with the student to the office with the details of their checkout time. Please do not use the online form for checking students in or out during the school day. We will still accept doctor’s notes from a student when they return to school. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to make things easier for everyone!
Check out the video to see an example of how this works on our app: https://youtube.com/shorts/CyXe-VEIsuA?si=9AX-k_rVtcica-ti
