Report an Absence
Not Coming to School?

Parents MUST report absences within two days. A note can be sent on the day before the student's absence.

There are two ways of reporting an absence: 

• The parent or guardian calls in the absence the day before, on the same day, or immediately after the absence.   (754) 323-3501 or e-mail to attendance_3911@browardschools.com 
• A parent or guardian writes a note stating the reason for the absence, and the day(s) of the absence(s). The note must include a parent/guardian signature. 
  
   
  
  Excused absences give students two class days to make up the work for each class day absent, not including the day of the return. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the teacher(s) immediately upon their return to school to receive assignments of work missed.  Previously assigned work is due the day of return. 

Attendance Policy 5.5

All students' absences must align with the eight (8) reasons allowed for absences, as outlined in the Attendance Policy and in the Code of Student Conduct.
Parents must state reason (from approved list) for absence when they call in or write a note to report a student's absence.
Absences can only be excused if they correspond with one of the eight (8) allowed reasons.
