Reporting Absence

Reporting an Absence

Absences must be reported by a parent/guardian within 48 hours of the absence (excluding weekends). This can be done by contacting the attendance office via phone: 719-495-5523 or email: nikki.eldard@d49.org, or by using the Attendance Monitor feature found on your parent portal in PowerSchool.

If you fail to contact the school within the necessary time frame, documentation must be provided for any state excusable absences.

If you believe that your student was marked absent by mistake, they must email their teacher using their student email and request a correction (ensuring to ‘cc’ a parent/guardian and Mrs. Eldard).

Again, this correspondence must be made within 48 hours of the absence in question.
