1. You can call Attendance at (503) 356-3508.
2. You can excuse ALL DAY ABSENCES via ParentVue
   • Please note that when using ParentVue, it is for ALL DAY ABSENCES ONLY. You may not use ParentVue for tardies or early release, or for excusing past absences. See below for more instructions.

Absences must be reported within 48 hours of the absence. Please include the following information:

• Student's full name (please spell uncommon names)
• Student's six-digit ID number
• Your name and relationship to the student (parent, guardian, etc)
• Reason for the absence (from the list below)
  • Illness

in order To excuse a late arrival -

• Student's six-digit ID number
• Your name and relationship to the student (parent, guardian, etc)
• Reason
  • Excused - 
    • Medical appointment, illness, and family emergencies, etc.
  • Unexcused -
    • Oversleeping, missing the bus, finishing homework/studying at home, and "running late."

Students should go directly to the Attendance Office when they arrive.

If absences of three or more days are known in advance -

Students are to come to the Attendance Office and get a Prearranged Absence Form. This will be filled out & signed by parent/guardian and then all teachers will sign before it is returned to the Attendance Office.

Students  who  have  been absent have the responsibility to request and make up all missed work.

Teachers have the option to determine the length of time for completion of make up work; the general rule is a day for a day. Parents/student requests for homework related to absences of 3 or more days should be made to the teachers and should allow for a 24-hour response time.
