Steps for clearing incorrect absences

  1. Go to ParentVue to find dates/periods of absences
  2. Discuss any questionable absences with your child
  3. Have the student speak with their teacher about any questionable absences.
    • If the teacher agrees there was an error, the teacher will submit a correction form to the attendance office. This will allow the attendance clerk to remove the error.
    • If the teacher does not agree, the absence will remain
  4. After completing steps 1-3, if there are still issues, contact the attendance office.
