1. The Start Date field will be pre-populated with today’s date.
2. Select the End Date only if you are reporting an absence for multiple school days.
   Note: For absences that extend beyond the five-day window, as well as for late arrivals and early dismissals, please contact the school directly (see Attendance Contact Information by School below).
3. Select A Reason from the dropdown menu:
   • Report Illness Abs (fever, cough, sore throat, flu, etc.).

   • Report Absence (anything not health-related).

     
4. Provide details for the student’s absence in the Note box. This information helps the school process your request quickly and reduces the need for a phone call.
5. Upload Documentation, if available, using the  “Add doctor’s note or document” button.
6. Click Save.

Note: The Attendance module (calendar) will display an "X" for the submitted date(s). Hovering over the date will display the note labeled "Pending Verification”. Once schools process your request, the “X” will change to the Excused icon (a green check mark) or the Unexcused icon (a red X).

IMPORTANT: Please do not attempt to resubmit attendance for the same day(s). If you need to update previously submitted attendance, contact the school directly.

When trying to resubmit for the same date(s), you may receive an error message (see image below). Please be aware that even if you are able to resubmit, the school will only be able to process your initial request. Absences can only be reported once per day. For any changes, please communicate directly with the school by calling the attendance line or emailing the attendance office (if applicable).
