Parents please pack an extra set of clothes in your child's backpack each day. Bathroom accidents, spills, mud puddles or unexpected messes can happen, and having a spare outfit will help keep your child comfortable throughout the day. This way, we can take care of any changes at school, and you won't have to make a trip to bring them. Thank you for your support!

Reporting Absences in Parent Connect Reporting Absences in Parent Connect

Parent Connect has a quick and easy way to report your child's absence.


  • Log into Parent Connect
  • If you have more than one child, select the student who will be absent.
  • Click Report Absence on the top right corner.
  • Enter the date(s) of the absence.
  • If your child will be gone all day, check the All Day box so it applies to both morning and afternoon. Or, if your child will only miss part of the day, enter the specific times.
  • Finally select a Reason and make sure to include in the Notes why your child will be absent (illness, doctor visit, vacation etc.) If your child has been diagnosed with something specific (like COVID, strep throat, pink eye, flu, chickenpox, etc.), please mention that in Notes.


If you report an absence through Parent Connect, you do not need to call the attendance line.
