Attendance

If your student is going to be absent from or late for school, please email mkurak@isd282.org or call 612-706-1108 and leave a message on the attendance line with your student's name, grade, and reason for the absence or tardy.

If your student is going to be picked up early for any reason, please notify the attendance office, email mkurak@isd282.org or call 612-706-1108 and leave a message, with as much advance notice as possible. Your student will be given a pass to meet their parent/guardian outside of Door #1 (HS entrance) at the time requested by parent/guardian. Parents/Guardians do not need to come into the building to sign their student out.

If your student arrives after 8am for an unexcused tardy, they must check in at Door #1 (HS entrance) at the Welcome Desk where they will get a Smart Pass from the kiosk. Parent/Guardians do not need to come into the building with their student. If the tardiness is excused, the student must check in at the Attendance Office in Room 208 to receive a pass to class and have their status updated in Skyward.

If your student will be absent for more than three (3) days, please have a parent or guardian email the Attendance Office at mkurak@isd282.org. with the absence details. You will need to fill out a "Trip Request Form," which can be found via this link or picked up in the Attendance Office located in Room 208.  The Trip Request Form should be taken to each of your student's teachers, who will note any assignments they would like the student to complete during their absence. After obtaining all necessary signatures, the completed form should be returned to the Attendance Office, where a copy will be made and the excused absence recorded in Skyward. There is no need to contact each teacher separately.

Students who become sick at school should seek help in the school’s health office. The Health Aide will determine if parents need to be called and if the child should go home. In the event of an emergency, First Aid will be provided, EMS (911) will be called and parents will be notified. The Health Aide will arrange for students who get sick at school to go home early. Students who leave school ill without visiting the Health Office will be unexcused.

A parent/guardian should notify the SAVHS Attendance Office if his/her child is unable to attend school because of illness.  Follow up with a doctor note, if appropriate.
