Please email CBSSattendance@gunnisonschools.net if your student will be absent or needs to miss any classes.

In an effort to alleviate disruptions to classroom learning, if you need to pick up your child during the school day, please do your best to utilize a passing period. We understand that this may not always be possible, but when it is, it really benefits our learning environment. Per the student handbook, middle school students must be signed out from the front office by a guardian. Please also call ahead or email. High school students can sign out from the office on their own with guardian approval (email cbssattendance@gunnisonschools.net or call 970-641-7720). Thanks for your help and support!

Please contact Madeline Shugert, Secondary Office Manager, at madeline.shugert@gunnisonschools.net, or call the front office at (970) 641-7720.
