Reporting Absences

ABSENCE PROCEDURES:
To report an absence, a parent or legal guardian:

  • Must call North Student Services office line at (920) 852-5405 (press 1 for illness and absences) as early as possible each day the student is absent.
  • If leaving a message, please provide the student's name, grade, and reason for the absence. Please speak slowly and clearly--Please spell out the Last Name.  This will ensure we have the correct information.
  • You have the option to reach a Spanish or Hmong interpreter.
  • Messages are checked continually throughout the day.

ABSENCE REQUEST 
It’s very important that you notify the school when your child will be absent. This can be done by phone call, email, or parents/guardians can use the Absence Request found on Campus Parent/Parent Portal tool to submit a request that informs the office in advance when their student is not going to be in school.

This new feature can be used as an alternative to the traditional phone calls to the school office. Please see the instructions, found here, on how to submit an Absence Request via the Campus Portal. 

EXCUSED ABSENCE WITH PRIOR PARENT REQUEST:

  • A parent/guardian may request that a student be excused from school attendance prior to an absence occurring.
  • The request can be made via phone contact with the school. 
  • The student may be excused by the parent/guardian under this provision for not more than 10 days in the school year.

PLEASE NOTE: After a student's 10th absence, documentation will be required for an excused absence. 

APPOINTMENTS

All student appointments (such as medical, dental, court) must be called in advance to the Student Services office by a parent or legal guardian at (920) 852-5405. Press 1 for Student Services menu and follow the prompts.
