Attendance and Sick Students:

To ensure the accuracy and efficiency of our attendance process, please remember the following guidelines:

• If your student needs to leave class for an appointment or because they are sick, inform the attendance office 30 MINUTES PRIOR to leave time. This will help us ensure that your student receives a note to leave class in a timely manner. Students will not be excused without a note.

• Pre-excused absence forms need to be turned into the Attendance Secretary 24 hours PRIOR to leaving for the absence.

• To report an absence, call our attendance line at 503-263-7210 or email chs-attendance@canby.k12.or.us.

• Please report an absence as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours after the absence.

Remember that attendance matters and students who attend class regularly are more likely to stay on track, graduate on time, learn deeply, and get the most from their high school experience.
