How do I report my child’s absence?

4 min read

Scheduling Absences

You can schedule absences for your children right from the convenience of your mobile device.
Click “Absent Today” if your child will be away on the current day.

Click Plan an Absence if your child will be away for multiple days, partial days, or another day in the future.

In the comment section, you must include information regarding why your child will be absent. Click Send to School Office.

A submission receipt will be sent to your mailbox.

Once the school office has reviewed and approved the absence, the status of the receipt will change to Approved.

An approved absence will be visible in your child’s Personal Calendar by clicking Calendar under their name on your Home Screen.

Attendance Incident Notifications

If your child is marked Late or Absent by any of their teachers and there is no Planned Absence listed for them, the office may choose to notify you through Edsby. In order for you to receive these notifications, you must enable them in your Notification Settings. Navigate to your Settings, select Notifications, and click your child’s name.

Ensure the box next to Attendance Incidents is selected.

If the office notifies you of your child’s Late or Absence, you will receive an Edsby Notification in your Navigation Bar. Here you will be provided with two options to reply back to the office.

If you are aware of your child’s Late or Absence, click I Know About This. You will then be asked to provide a reason for your child’s absence and send it to the School Office.

If you are unaware of your child’s Late or Absence, click I Don’t Know About This. The office will be notified that your child is unaccounted for.
