Attendance

Regular school attendance is important for students as it fosters consistent learning, helps build a strong academic foundation, and cultivates good habits for future success. Families should prioritize daily attendance to support their student's educational and personal development.

Report a Student Absence

Please notify your student’s school office if your student will be absent. Excused absences include:

  • Medical appointments
  • Family emergency
  • Illness/injury including mental or behavioral health

Schools may excuse absences for other reasons when satisfactory arrangements are made in advance of the absence. Dependents of a member of the Armed Forces of the United States who is on active duty may also be excused for up to seven days. 

Too Sick for School?

The Oregon Department of Education provides guidance on when students should not attend school based on specific symptoms. Visit this webpage to review guidance and determine if your student is too sick to go to school and when your student may return to school based on the symptoms. 

Schools do not exclude students for COVID-19 positive tests. Schools only exclude students based on their symptoms (refer to Symptom-Based Exclusion Chart).
