Directions for Submitting an Absence Request through Parent Skyward For FULL Day Absence Only
Get into Parent Skyward Account (not student account); think it has to be done on computer the first time and not through phone app (but not definite on this)
In column on left side, put your cursor over “Attendance” and click on this
Attendance Requests (if you’ve done previous ones) come up in rectangular box
Click on “Attendance Request” found center to right side
A rectangular box comes up, click on “Add Request” on the right
A new box comes up: pick your dates, pick parent excused, type in comment: which is the “Why” they are out. According to State and District Policy, we have to have a “why” stated
Click on “Save”
You have now entered an Absence Request and the Secretary should get a notification
When the Secretary Approves or Denies the Request, you should get notification of it (not sure if this comes into parent Skyward account or through email)
This can and should be done the day of the Absence; you have 3 days to submit excuses after an absence
The schools will need change of transportation and early dismissal notes the morning of.
Doctor excuses cannot be uploaded into Skyward. Please email them to the secretary or send in when student returns
