Parent Submitted Attendance (English) (Spanish)
Steps to submit absence, tardy or early dismissals using the ParentVUE web portal or mobile app.

Other Options
Please review the following information regarding absences, tardies, and early dismissals. 

*Tardies: If a student is going to be late to school due to an appointment at the doctors, orthodontist, dentist, court, or any other reason, please report tardies via Parent VUE. Please make sure to include a copy of medical/dental notes or any other documentation from appointments, etc. You can also send in a note with your student to excuse the tardy.

*Absences: If a student is going to be absent from school for the day, or longer, please notify the attendance office via Parent VUE, or using the form above. 

*Early Dismissals: Please report early dismissals via ParentVue. Please request an early dismissal AT LEAST 30 minutes prior to the dismissal time.

If you are picking up your student without a ParentVue or previously submitted request you must come into the building to the attendance window and present your ID and fill out a form for dismissal. You can request an early dismissal via Parent VUE, sending a note in with your student to be turned in first thing in the morning.

Early Dismissal requests through Parent Vue after 2:00pm will not be processed. Please come into the main office and fill out paperwork to have your student dismissed if you cannot put it in Parent Vue before 2:00pm.  Early Dismissals are not accepted over the phone, only a handwritten note sent to school with your student or a request through Parent Vue .

*Please note: All student athletes must have a doctors note, dentist note, or other type of documentation if they are tardy to school or leave via early dismissal for them to participate in their sport the day of their tardy or early dismissal. If they are home sick for the day, they will not be allowed to participate.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Attendance Office at 571-434-3200 

Thank you!

Students are considered on time if they are in the classroom by the time the bell begins to ring.

Tardy-to-School / Per Semester: Tardiness is not acceptable because it disrupts class, reflects a negative attitude toward the class, creates disruptive problems in the corridors, and develops a habit, which could make future employment difficult. Students will be considered tardy to school if they are not in their assigned classroom by the time the bell begins to ring to start the day.

Guidelines-This is per class period, per semester.

*All tardies due to medical appointments must be accompanied by a doctor’s note to be considered excused.

Eighteen or Older: Eighteen-year-old students are not bound by Virginia’s compulsory attendance laws. They may be dropped from the rolls for various violations of school rules including poor attendance, behavior difficulties, willful violation of rules and regulations, lack of cooperation and lack of effort.

Eighteen-year-old students who choose to remain in school are expected to comply with all rules and regulations including attendance requirements. This includes adhering to the early dismissal policy where parent notes and/or phone messages are submitted to attendance for consideration.

Make-Up Work: It is the student’s responsibility to get assignments and complete make up work prior to returning to class whenever possible. With permission from the teacher additional time to complete assignments may be given in special situations. When a student misses a previously announced quiz, test, project, or other assignment, the student should make arrangements with the teacher to complete the work in a timely manner. Failure to complete such make-up work within the time allowed may result in a failing grade for those assignments, tests, or other work. Make-up work turned in within the time allowed will be graded on the same basis as other work. With block scheduling, all students are encouraged to enlist a study partner to contact when an absence occurs.
