Need to be absent for any reason? No problem! Just request a Participate Remote Day, and you can be away from school for the day but aren't counted absent! You simply need to make up your work upon return. That's the only requirement.

Please complete this form for any attendance updates and to request Participate Remote Days.

Attendance Notes and Documentation

Documentation for any absence type must be provided within five days of returning to school for an absence to be excused.  Parents and/or guardians may send an email or handwritten note to the school to document a student absence.  If needed, the principal or designee will verify the email address and the credibility of the email.  The following must be included in all documentation:

  • Student Name
  • Student FCS ID Number (lunch number)
  • Parent/Guardian Name
  • Parent/Guardian Email & Phone Number

Documenting illness or the illness of family members:

  • After 3 consecutive absences, late arrivals, or early checkouts a doctor’s note may be required
  • After 7 cumulative absences and/or 10 cumulative late arrivals or early checkouts, a doctor’s note may be required for any subsequent illness-related absences, late arrivals or early checkouts
  • If there is an on-going medical circumstance that requires a student to be absent, late, or checkout early from school frequently or intermittently, a doctor’s note will be required to address medical concerns and need for absences
  • In the event of a serious illness in the student’s immediate family, schools may require students to present medical documentation regarding the family member upon return to school for validating the excused absence, tardy, or early checkout

Excused Absence Allowances for a death in the family:

  • Four days for immediate family (parent, sibling, grandparent, or anyone else living in the student’s household)
  • Two days for non-immediate family (any family member not included in the definition of immediate family)
