How To Mark Your Child's Absence in School Messenger

**REPORTING ABSENCES**  Very Important for our tracking of health and safety for our school

HOW TO MARK YOUR CHILD'S ABSENCE IN SCHOOL MESSENGER 

  1. FLU - illness due to flu and cold like symptoms
  2. Other Illness or Injury -  if they are experiencing symptoms that you do not deem to be flu or cold like, or your child has a medical appointment.
  3. Parent Excused -  if your child is experiencing no illness/symptoms at all, please choose this. The parent excused absence should only be chosen if you are keeping your child home for a reason that does not pertain to a medical issue. (i.e dance competition)

Absences may also be reported by calling SchoolMessenger at 1-877-246-9970 or using the SchoolMessenger App.

If you experience any problems we are happy to take your call at the school office at
