Attendance & Educational Request Forms
Attendance:
- We account for your children's attendance each day. If your child is going to be absent or arriving late please send an email to:
- Sue Wanamaker (swanamaker@umasd.org)
- Theresa Thornton (tthornton@umasd.org)
- Child's Teacher
- If your child is absent, an automated phone call will be placed letting you know your child is not in school. This will happen around 10:30am. If we received notice from you, unfortunately, we cannot stop the system from placing the call. We do appreciate you letting us know every time a student is absent or late.
Absent Notes:
- Absent notes must be signed by a parent. A note may be scanned & emailed or sent in with your student upon their return.
- Absent notes are due three (3) days from your child's return to school; after three (3) days, the absence will become unlawful.
- A doctor’s note is required for every absence after the 15th absence.
- Absent notes are to excuse personal illness of the child or doctor appointments. Please see UMASD Attendance Policy for the full list.

- Trip forms are required before you leave for your trip.
- Absent notes are not accepted for vacations, day trips or family events,etc. A trip form must be filled out in order for the day(s) to be excused.
