Please complete this Google Form to report your child's absence. This form will alert the school of your child's absence and will serve as an absence note for your child's return. You are not required to send a separate note after completing this form. If your child has been absent for multiple days due to illness, a doctor's note may be required.
If your child is demonstrating any Covid-like symptoms, or has tested for Covid-19, please note that information on this form. If your child has tested positive and is therefore required to quarantine (5 days), please note the date that symptoms began and/or the date of the positive test as well as the date that you anticipate your child returning to school, assuming they remain symptom-free.
Complete this form regarding your child's extended or discretionary absence.
