Early Dismissals

• Call the Attendance line at 763-506-3207 or submit online via the ParentVue app. Please allow a minimum of a half day advanced notice.

• A slip will be given to the student to excuse them from class. By providing this advanced notice, the attendance office will have your student ready to meet you at the designated time. This minimizes classroom disruption and gets you to your appointment on time!

Medical Documentation

• If your student’s absence involves a doctor, dental, or mental health appointment, a note from the clinic is highly encouraged. After 10 absences, documentation is required.

• Students may drop this note off at the attendance office, or the clinic may fax it to 763-506-3203 (Attention: Attendance). Parents may also upload via the ParentVue app.

Truancy Laws

• Minnesota State Statute (120) requires that children attend school each and every day and every class period. If a student misses a school day, or part of a school day for legitimate reasons, a parent or guardian must notify the school, or this will be considered an unexcused absence towards truancy.

Visitor information

Anoka-Hennepin Schools utilizes a multi-layered approach to protect the safety of students and staff. Parents, guardians and volunteers are welcome to visit the school, most commonly with a pre-determined appointment. Plan to bring your driver’s license with you when visiting the school or picking up your child. Children are only allowed to visit with or leave school with the parent/guardian or emergency contact provided when each family completes the back-to-school verification forms.
