Attendance Reporting

Reporting Absences, Late Arrivals, or Early Checkouts

Attendance Reporting

  • ParentVUE 
    • Beginning in the 24-25 school year, parents/legal guardians can submit full-day absences using ParentVUE. Learn more about attendance reporting through ParentVUE.
  • 703-619-2626
  • @email

When reporting a student's absence, please be specific about why your student will not attend school today.  

  • If reporting an ill student, include symptoms, especially if they have a fever, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, and/or cough. If your student has a diagnosis from a healthcare provider, please include that information.

Excused/Unexcused Absences

Unless a student is sick, students are expected to be in school on time each day. Parents must contact our main office each day their child will be out for an illness to leave a message by calling 703-619-2626 or emailing before 9:30am. Failure to do so will result in the absence being marked as Unexcused.

Any student who has ten (10) absences may be referred to the School Attendance Officer. 

Excused absence & late arrival: Illness of the student, death in the family, medical or dental appointment, observance of religious holiday.

Unexcused absence & late arrival: Family trips and vacations, childcare situation, oversleeping, non-school activity, sports team travel, traffic, missing the bus. 

We track attendance on a regular basis and reach out to families to help resolve any attendance issues. If you need help and/or have questions, do not hesitate to contact our main office to speak with an administrator, our counselor or social worker. We’re here to help.
