ParentVUE Absence Notes
Parents can submit information regarding recent absences, such as doctor's notes, in ParentVUE.

On the Report Absences screen, there will be a list of eligible recent absences.
- First, Select a Reason for the absence (from Absent, Religious, or College Visit (HS only)).
- Tap on "Add doctor's note or document" to take or upload a picture of a supporting document if one is available.
- Type a Note if there is additional information the school should know.
- Click Save once you are done.
*An uploaded document or note must be provided when submitting an absence.

🥙 Café Gwinnett - A Message from Hull Middle School
This is a friendly reminder that students are not allowed to receive outside food/drink deliveries throughout the day. Make sure your student brings their lunch to school daily to maximize instructional time. Please limit lunch drop-offs, as we can not guarantee timely delivery to your student. All students have the opportunity to receive a healthy, nutritious lunch through our school cafeteria.
Please see the monthly lunch calendar below to guide you and your student in his/her daily lunch decisions.
