Here are a few quick tips for Excusing an Absence or Tardy and Arranging an Early Dismissal:

TO ARRANGE AN EARLY DISMISSAL

• The easiest method for requesting an early dismissal is email. the parent should email the Attendance Office at BFHS-Attendance@pwcs.edu. Your student will receive an email to use as their pass and you can wait curbside for your student.

• Please reference the phrase "Early Dismissal" in the subject line of the email message.

EXCUSE AN ABSENCE (DAY OF OR IN ADVANCE)

Parents/Guardians have the ability to obtain an account for Canvas that has an Observer role in all of the classes in which their children are enrolled. This is done by obtaining a pairing code from their student and using that pairing code to apply for their new account. Once their account is created, additional pairing codes for other children in the family can be added so that parents may access the canvas classrooms for all of their students from a single Canvas Observer account.

Directions for this process are posted on the PWCS Canvas & Zoom page. Scroll down to the blue bar “Parent, Guardian, Observer Access Code to Canvas”.

Here you will find information about what the Canvas Observer role is and a summary of what it can and cannot do. Note: Parents/Guardians will not be provided with PWCS Zoom accounts.
