    Reporting Errors:

    • If your student was marked absent for one or more class periods and you feel that it was done in error, please have your student stop by the attendance office to pick up an ATTENDANCE CHANGE REQUEST FORM. It is the student’s responsibility to have the form filled out by the appropriate teacher and the student must return the form to the attendance office.  The change will be made if indicated by the teacher.  To find out what period your student was marked absent, please refer to the attendance page on Home Access.
    • The teacher may be contacted by email for clarification and correction questions.
