Quick Tips for Successfully Checking In on Daily Attendance – Student Portal
Missed Check-In?
Students must check-in for attendance every day during the week (including Wednesdays) between 7:30am-11:00pm. District procedures will allow a parent/guardian to send notification to the school for a missed check in. Notification must be received within 7 days of the missed check in. After 7 days, Mr. Sanders will have to review for approval. (Note: Notification must come from a parent/guardian from the parent/guardian email. Students that are 18 can send their own notification.)
The District has set up a dedicated attendance email address and phone number. Both should be used for all notifications, out ill, college visit, etc. Documentation can also be sent to the attendance email.
