Attendance Procedure

You may notify the school through one of the following ways:

• Leave a voicemail message on the school 24-hour attendance hotline by calling 425-837-6407 as soon as possible, but no later than the start of school on the day of the absence(s);
• Send an email message to  

  crattendance@issaquah.wednet.edu

   as soon as possible, but no later than the start of school on the day of the absence(s). Only parents/guardians/caretakers may send email messages; students are not authorized to send in their own messages

Additionally, a written note from a doctor may be required for extended absences.

 

Pre-Planned Absences:

Please make an attempt to schedule family trips during non-school dates. It is very difficult to make up lost instructional time. Absences for family trips without prior administrator permission will result in an unexcused absence for the dates.

For Pre-Planned Absences of 3 or more days, please complete the process described below.

• Absences due to family trips may only be excused when prior approval has been given by the school. Prearranged absences should be submitted at least 1 week ahead of time.

• When considering whether to excuse absences the administrator will consider:

  • Total number of absences over the year.
  • Impact on our ability to ensure adequate academic growth.
  • Family emergencies where absences are unavoidable will receive special consideration.
