Report an absence
Tell the school when a linked child will be absent.
On Today or Family, choose Report absence. Select your child and the date, enter a short reason, then choose Send report. Share only what the school needs to know. One report is allowed per child and date.
Your report shows Waiting for school acknowledgement until a teacher or administrator acknowledges it. Use Older reports to browse earlier reports and Latest reports to return. If a report needs correcting, contact the school office.
Teachers see Reported absences below the attendance register for the selected day and program. Acknowledge confirms that the report was reviewed. It does not set attendance; the teacher records the actual attendance separately.
