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:
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.
